The SMU Mustangs travel to Winston-Salem for a meeting with a pesky Wake Forest squad. It’s one of those classic sandwich spots for SMU, as they beat Clemson last week and have a home game against Miami next week. The Demon Deacons are 4-2 on the season. The Demon Deacons are riding a two game win streak and they carry a 2-2 home field record. Wake Forest beat Oregon State 39-14 in their last game played on the road. QB Deshawn Purdie threw for 270 yards with 4 touchdowns. Purdie has 5 touchdowns on the year. Wake Forest is averaging 29 points scored per game. RB Demond Claiborne leads the ground attack. Claiborne has 539 rushing yards on 69 carries with eight touchdowns. Wake looks to build on its two-game winning streak and establish consistency at home. The Demon Deacons’ defense, which has forced six turnovers over its last three games, must find a way to limit SMU’s explosive passing attack. SMU Mustangs Quarterback Kevin Jennings (ankle) played through discomfort last week but is expected to start. Both SMU and Wake Forest have been playing good football as of late. SMU is seeking their fourth straight win. While Wake Forest is seeking their third straight win. Wake Forest show value as a home underdog in this SMU look ahead game that Wake can easily win outright.
