Even if it isn't an ACC game, Wake Forest football is ready to renew its rivalry with North Carolina

Posted Sep 11, 2019
For the first time since 2015, Wake Forest and North Carolina will play football against each other and resume their 131-year-old rivalry. The first game between the Demon Deacons and Tar Heels was in 1888, a 6-4 win by Wake Forest. The teams played every season from 1944 to 2004, before conference expansion placed them in separate ACC divisions. (Winston-Salem Journal)
