We made it—the offseason is now officially over, and football season is here! Tonight marks the first game of the Jake Dickert era, and it looks like you could not ask for a more perfect night for a football game. The new look Deacs head onto the field tonight for their first ever game against the Kennesaw Owls, a team that has never beaten an ACC opponent. While Wake is a big favorite and should win the game pretty comfortably, don’t panic if they come out of the gate a little sluggish—plenty of teams, including Duke, were in close games against bad opponents heading into halftime last night only blow the game open in the 2nd half.
Go Deacs!
