Another year, another Wake Forest football season underway. Year two of the Dave Clawson era at Wake Forest started with an emphatic win over Elon. The season opener at Grove Stadium saw the Demon Deacons run rampant of the Phoenix, 41-3. The offense outgained Elon 588-151.
After a slow offensive start, the MVP of the first quarter was Alex Kinal. The defense held Elon to one first down in the first quarter, but Wake Forest wasn't much better with 90 total yards of offense. It was no surprise to see the defense come out strong and the offense start rusty, but after a sluggish first quarter Wake didn't look back, scoring the game's first 3 points and continuing to lock down the game defensively.
