Wake Forest -3
I have to admit, I had been high on Wake Forest early in the year and really thought this team was capable of some big things. However, although they did show at some points in the year that they were capable of playing some very good football, they let down many times in the year. However, I think they salvage the season with a bowl win in a mini-revenge game after Navy gave Wake thier first loss of the year in a 24-17 game.
In that 24-17 loss, Wake just simply was not ready. Navy came out the hungrier team and ran to a 17-0 lead at the half. All teams have bad games and this was one of them for Wake. They turned the ball over six times yet somehow limited Navy to 24 points. It is clear that Wake is capable of stopping the option and Riley Skinner is definitley capable of having an efficient game against this Navy defense.
Navy is such a one-sided attack that if Wake can limit the turnovers they should have no problem holding Navy under the 24 points they gave up the first time around.
Wake Forest 27, Navy 17
