Deacs open football season with resounding win

Best season opener ever? It’s certainly a possibility that in head coach Dave Clawson’s second year, he has already crafted a team that could contend for the title of “most prolific offense in Wake Forest history.” Wake Forest opened their season last Thursday against Elon University in front of an estimated 27,000 raucous fans at BB&T Field. Starting quarterback John Wolford did not disappoint the Deacon faithful, torching the Elon defense in a 41-3 rout that will be talked about long after this season.

Eager to improve on last season’s historically poor offense, Wolford and co. took a couple of drives to settle into the offense.
