The Wake Forest Demon Deacons have gone through a rough patch these last couple of weeks, but that’s the nature of being in the ACC. Wake Forest is still a very talented team and absolutely loaded on the offensive side. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets have had issues in every game this season against respectable competition, and their defense can really have issues. This line isn’t giving the Demon Deacons much respect. I’ll lay the bucket with the road team.
