Last week’s game against Boston College was a true wake up call for the Wake defense. Having out-dueled both Tulane and Towson in the first two weeks, their strengths were finally tested against an opponent with good talent across the board.
The team allowed BC’s best offensive player and Heisman candidate AJ Dillon to gobble up 185 yards on the ground with a touchdown. The team also had trouble in the secondary as receiver Jeff Smith finished the game with 145 receiving yards and two scores.
As for the BC defense, they too had playmakers who showed up.
