It was possibly the most consequential game of Wake Forest’s season; the Demon Deacons took care of business against the SMU Mustangs. They dominated from the start and won 49-7.
Wake Forest (9-1, 6-1ACC) entered the game with only one conference loss – to Miami on September 18. Since then, the Deacs have gone 7-0 and outscored their opponents 343-65.
