What’s next for Wake Forest?

You never want to start your conference season with a loss, but no one should count the Demon Deacons out by any means. They have an opportunity for redemption next weekend when Florida State hosts them in Tallahassee. There might not be a quarterback in the country with better mastery and command of his offense than Sam Hartman.

Wake Forest might have to get comfortable winning games with basketball scores. The only question is whether or not the Deacons can win an ugly game when the offense does not play well, and they don’t score forty or more points.

What’s next for Clemson football?

Head coach William Christopher “Dabo” Swinney and offensive coordinator Brandon Streeter have to be encouraged and excited about DJ Uiagalelei’s progress every game this season, with today being his best performance this season. However, the offensive line is a concern if you are Clemson football.

They weren’t finishing blocks and did not do a good job anytime Wake Forest dropped two safeties deep and played three down linemen. If you are Clemson, that is the type of look you have to run on with your backfield talent.
