THIS.

The[I] narrative [/I]that Dino can't win on the road in the ACC is bunk.

It's not like we got blown out in either of those games this year -
which, when you consider that one was AT Clemson, is freaking amazing. 
We were literally ONE play away late in the 4th quarter of each of those games from winning.

[B]Also - Wake's D is ranked 124th.  Out of 130. [/B]
They are allowing almost 47 points a game vs P5 competition. 
They fired their D-Coordinator after the ND game. 
And they just benched a starting CB and replaced him with a walk-on. 
They are grasping at straws on D, and it shows.

Wake's D doesn't get a lot of sacks, or INT's.
And teams are 20/21 in the red zone against them, all for TD's. 
See stat at bottom for more-

Their O, which averages 34 overall, is only averaging about 27 vs P5 comp
(and that includes 56 vs. Llvll, which I'm not even sure still counts as P5 anymore :p)

Lastly, but far from least - we have THE BEST ST's in the whole damn country!!! 
Wake's ST's are ranked 87 by S&P+ 
IF this is somehow a close game, that's a huge edge than can swing it our way.

Wake doesn't have some fearsome home-field advantage either.
While they got big crowds for ND & Clemson, a lot of that extra might have been opposition fans.
They only drew in the 23-25k range for Towson, BC, and Rice.
