I had a good feeling about this game. I think the players had a bye week to think about what level they needed to play at going forward to be successful. It was a very timely bye week. Too bad we have to follow up this win with a game against Clempson.
This will be an interesting one. Up until the unc game I thought Wake had this terrific defense but then they give up 50 points to the tarheels? I think Wolfpack covers. I’m gonna predict that we win by 2 TD’s.
PackEsquire Your are a breath of fresh air. Wake wins going away. Take Doeren in your Delorean.
Score is gonna be 24-21 Wolfpack. Bet the under, take WF. Just got out the Delorean.
