"No Offense, No Defense, No Hope!"

by David D. Doda

Dedicated to the 1970 ACC Championship Team


The 1970 Wake Forest University football team was a group of young men, many good ball players, some great, that for one memorable year bonded together and played as one. The result was a storybook season that ended with the first ever ACC Football Championship in Wake Forest history.

This is the story of how an old-school coach transformed a college football team of perennial underdogs and won a championship for the ages. Written by David D. Doda, a member of that 1970 team, this novel captures the spirit, the struggle, and the triumph of a group of Demon Deacons who refused to be counted out.
