Wake Forest football has delivered some amazing results under head coach Dave Clawson. Often, outside the ACC, media and fans when asked about the Demon Deacons will ask, who? Word of advice. Take a closer look because the mighty mouse roars. The Publisher of 24/7's Demon Deacon Digest, Les Johns joins us for an ACC Nation Football Preview and rolls through defense, offense, special teams and a schedule that offers up some challenges as the season progresses. Stanford, Cal And SMU Unexpected ACC '23 Additions? We start with the defense and Johns indicates that there's more experience and depth than there has been in previous years. The Deacs will bring pressure up front and have a solid secondary capable of shutting down pass aggressive teams. Wake Forest One of the keys to improving pass defense is working with a stellar wide receiving corps. Look for Wake Forest to take the top off opposing defenses behind QB Mitch Griffis who steps up to take command of the offense. The depth of the RB room guarantees a solid 'by committee' approach behind the workhorse Justice Ellison. Keep in mind the 'two deep, three seasons' we mention early on in the podcast because it's a great guide in demonstrating Wake Forest has, once again been underestimated. Clawson and company will let the final score do all the talking for them as usual.

The Wake Forest Demon Deacons have a balanced lineup that hit for power and average, and their bullpen is one of the best in the country. Les Johns of the Demon Deacon Digest joins Chris Lea & Dennis Cox to discuss how Wake Forest will need to continue to play their brand of baseball in order to advance in the CWS. That means hitting the ball well, pitching well, and playing good defense. Also, the Washington Wizards are expected to acquire Chris Paul as part of a package with the Phoenix Suns in exchange for Bradley Beal. The Suns were hoping to build around Paul, Devin Booker, and Kevin Durant, but the trade signals they believe Beal can provide more to the roster. Speaking of the NBA, a lot of NBA Draft experts are projecting that Duke Forward Dariq Whitehead can slide into the second round.
