It's September, y'all. As I'm resisting the early creep of pumpkin spice lattes and pumpkin beers, as I cling to the end of summer with every fiber of my being, the time has come at last for a new season of Demon Deacon football. The freshman class (of 2020...) opened the gate, Wake began selling alcohol in the stands, and the Deacs started off the 2016 football season off with a home victory, 7-3.
As the rain cleared away, and Wake Forest won the toss, Mike Weaver got the season underway, kicking off to the Green Wave. New Tulane head coach Willie Fritz showed his option look early, and the Deacon defense was up to the task.
