How Wake Forest scored 70 points in about 17 minutes of possession vs. Army

Defense was not super present Saturday during the Wake Forest-Army game in West Point, but it sure made for an entertaining game. And despite having just a seven-point lead early in the fourth quarter, the No. 16 Demon Deacons beat the Black Knights, 70-56, in a contest where Army alone hit the over.

In a game with 18 combined touchdowns, there’s a lot to dissect and analyze. But perhaps the most interesting and wild stat of the game is that Wake Forest won with 70 points off a measly 17:17 time of possession. That’s incredible; 70 points in barely 17 minutes averages out to about four points for every minute of possession.

It’s so impressive it’s actually kind of unbelievable. But stats like that don’t come around without some monster plays, and this game was filled with those too.

As CBS Sports Network noted during the game, there were seven touchdown plays for at least 40 yards, and Wake Forest accounted for six of them.
