The Wake Forest Demon Deacons lost their last three games to close a promising season at 6-6. They started 5-1. The good news though: they’re still bowl eligible for the first time since 2011. The Demon Deacons experienced their first collapse from the top of the ACC Atlantic division. They won one of their last six games.

Quarterback John Wolford returned from injury to throw for 137 passing yards and two touchdowns. He rushed for 69 yards as well but it wasn’t enough for the Wake Forest offense. The offense has averaged 13 points during their three-game losing streak.

The defense for Wake Forest allowed just 167 total yards of offense and held the Golden Eagles under 100 rushing yards. But it still wasn’t enough to get the victory. The offense held a 287-167 advantage in total offense. Kicker Mike Weaver missed two field goals in the game.

Whats Next?

The Demon Deacons await their fate as bowl season approaches. Wake Forest has 10 bowl appearances and holds a 6-4 record in those games. Current bowl projections have them playing Vanderbilt in the Independence Bowl.
