Even without Sam Hartman, the Demon Deacons should win this game by at least 42, and even if they take their foot way off the gas, at worst I see a 35 point win. And if Wake Forest wants to, they'll win by 50+.
VMI brings back five offensive, and six defensive starters from a team that lost to Kent State 60-10 last season.
Wake Forest will need to get a good look at what they have at QB with games against Vanderbilt, Liberty, Clemson, and Florida State next, and needs to make good use out of this tune up.
VMI is 2-7 ATS in their last nine road games, a 1-5 ATS in their last six non-conference games, and I don't see them covering here.
