Progress has been slow for Dave Clawson who, like his fellow Dave and MAC transplant down the road, was greeted at his new job by a gutted roster. In the two years prior to Clawson's arrival, Wake Forest's offense went into decline, and he was stuck with the hideous rock-bottom portion of that decline in his first season. Thanks a lot, Jim Grobe!
Wake went 3-9 (1-7) in both of the last two seasons. But lo, what is this before us! Do mine eyes deceive, or have the Deacs indeed already exceeded that win total in 2016? While this team still has a lot of weak spots, at 4-0 they've reached a point where they can seriously consider the possibility of a bowl berth.
