WISNTON-SALEM, N.C. - The Atlantic Coast Conference today announced the 2014 football schedule for all conference members.
Wake Forest will have six home games this fall, four against ACC foes and a pair of non-conference games. The Deacons will also make two non-conference road games and four ACC road trips.
Under first-year head coach Dave Clawson, the Deacons will open the schedule on Thursday, August 28 at Louisiana-Monroe. For the first time since 2005, Wake Forest will play all of its non-conference foes at the front end of the schedule, finishing the season with eight straight ACC games.
Wake Forest's other non-league foes include the home opener against Gardner-Webb at BB&T Field on Sept. 6 and a home game with Army on Sept. 20. The Deacons' second non-league road game will be at first-time opponent Utah State on Sept. 13.
In the ACC, the Deacons will play six games against Atlantic Division rivals and a pair of crossover games.
Clawson's first ACC opponent will be new member Louisville when the Deacons visit the Cardinals on Sept. 27. The Deacons also visit Florida State on Oct. 4 before the ACC home opener with Syracuse on Oct. 18.
Wake Forest will play a pair of Thursday games this season. The opener at ULM is scheduled for Thursday as well as the Nov. 6 home date with Clemson.
