College Football Betting - Wake Forest Deamon Deacons 2007 Preview - ACC Conference
Betus Pressbox
Articles
BetUS Sportsbook assigned
Wake Forest college football betting odds of
+575 to win the ACC’s
Atlantic Division and NCAA football odds of +1400
to win the conference. Media writers picked them
to finish fourth in the division.
Last year’s conference champ will not
have the league handed to them this year. They’ll
have to earn it and that is music to the ears
of wily QB Riley Skinner, who did everything
he could to squeeze over 2,000 passing yards
out of last season (2,051, 9TD’s).
Injuries decimated
the tailback corps last year but the good news
is that plenty of guys received quality snaps.
Micah Andrews (5-10, 212; Sr) is back from
his ACL injury and Josh Adams (6-0, 180) is
prepared to burst onto the scene in relief
following last year’s redshirt.
All five projected starters on the offensive
line have starting experience and OC Steve Justice
(6-4, 284; Sr) and mammoth RG Chris DeGeare (6-4,
362; Jr) are all-star caliber. The veteran line
and the healthy backfield should produce an even
more productive running game and the passing
game must surely improve, especially with play-maker
Kenneth Moore (6-0, 204; Sr) moving back to receiver.
The defense uses a
bend-but-don’t-break
philosophy and will have to rely mostly on young
and undersized players to control the line of
scrimmage.
MLB Jon Abbate took
off early to the NFL and 288-pound Eric Berry,
who started one game last year, is his likely
replacement. OLB’s
Aaron Curry (6-3, 240; Jr) and Stanley Arnoux
(6-1, 245; Jr) are good players but must ratchet-up
their games to make up for Abbate’s graduation.
Cornerback Alphonso
Smith (5-9, 191; Jr) had 8 PBU’s and 3 picks in only 3 starts last
season. Kevin Patterson started the last 11 games
at SS gathering 2 INT’s and 7 PBU’s.
Wake Forest road-schedule
includes a season-opening trip to Boston College
as well as trips to Navy, Clemson and Vandy.
Hosting FSU and Nebraska this year, the Demon
Deacons will have their work cut out for them
to match last year’s 11-3
record.
