At the beginning of November 2012, Wake Forest was sitting pretty with a 5-4 record, needing just one win to become bowl-eligible. However, three straight blowout losses to NC State, Notre Dame, and Vanderbilt cost them a postseason berth. However, there is hope for a bowl in the 2013 season, as 19 starters return. Senior quarterback Tanner Price doesn’t have a great offensive line to work with but still needs to regain 2011 form when he threw for 3,000 yards, 20 touchdowns, and a 60% completion percentage. Price doesn’t run well, and running back Josh Harris struggles to stay healthy, so the running game could be a problem. Leading receiver Michael Campanaro, who caught 79 balls for 763 yards last year, returns but will need much more support from his teammates. The defense is just average, but some guys like cornerback Merrill Noel have shown potential. The good news for Wake Forest is their schedule begins with Presbyterian, Boston College, Louisiana-Monroe, and Army, which should give them a few wins to build off of before getting into the tough ACC schedule.
