Does anyone know what kind of Offense the deacons are using? I assume by the passing yards of the QB it is probably pro style pocket passing. Does anyone have the inside word on their offense?

I found some online for $9. I've always been a firm believer in buying from the ticket office, but still it's hard to drop $21 extra per ticket.

Deacon tickets are not a hot item? They depend heavily on visitors to fill up the away side. NC State can do it .... and App State can come close.

Stubhub .... The cheap seats (AAA-NNN) are in the noise bleed section. There is no balcony, so the top seats are way back. I guess you can move after the game starts ... if it's not full.

I'm about to buy 4 seats in section 14, right behind the bench in Row B (2nd row) for $27.19 a piece, including StubHub's fees. I think I might do this over Liberty's seats. Any thoughts?

Does WF really have a 5'1" RB and a 6'10" CB?
Come on Sly, you're better than that.

With one of the ACC’s top quarterbacks in junior Tanner Price returning, Wake Forest could get to a bowl again. But there are questions that need to be answered for the Deacons, who will begin preseason practice Monday and open at home against Liberty on Sept. 1:
I'm looking for a low scoring game ..... 17-10 or something like that? Two good defenses going at it?

Or two poor offenses.....
Yeah ... that's kinda like the glass half full discussion .... Offense is big for both teams.
I wonder if the LU band is going to make this trip?
