They bounced back a week later to beat #23 Florida State 31-21, and backed that up with a 45-10 blowout of Army and a 43-15 victory against Boston College.
Wake Forest’s form dipped from there though, as they started a three-game skid with a 48-21 loss at Louisville.
They were then beaten 30-21 at #21 NC State and 36-34 at home to North Carolina, before finally snapping their slide with a 45-35 home win against Syracuse.
The Demon Deacons failed to back it up though, losing 34-31 at Duke in their regular season finale.
