Thousands of fans turned out for the Military Bowl Parade led by the world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales. That proved to be just enough for the Demon Deacons to hold on, capping a sensational Bowl Week punctuated by a sunny day with temperatures soaring into the mid-60s. Wolford, though, threw touchdowns on the next two possessions and by late in the second quarter Wake Forest led 31-7. The American Athletic Conference champions seemed in good shape. It was a surprising victory – especially considering that Temple took a 7-0 lead less than two minutes in following an interception and Walker’s 48-yard touchdown pass to Adonis Jennings on the next play.
