Wake Forest is one of the most difficult coaching jobs in college football. Consider that since 1949 Wake finished in the final top 25 just twice. Current head coach Dave Clawson has led the Demon Deacons to four consecutive bowl appearances. Which is the best in program history. But an 0-2 College Football betting start exposed Wake Forest as outmanned. Virginia Tech started off the 2020 season with a bang. The Hokies overcame players lost to COVID-19 to score resounding wins. Last week the Demon Deacons and Hokies scored impressive payouts. Both teams are improving rapidly.
