Utah State did not receive confidential information from a former Wake Forest assistant coach-turned-radio announcer prior to its game against the Demon Deacons in 2014, athletic department spokesman Doug Hoffman said Friday.
Tommy Elrod was fired this week by the IMG Radio Network and Wake Forest has barred him from access to its athletic program after discovering he provided or attempted to provide game-related information to several opponents, starting in 2014.
On Sept. 13, 2014, Utah State defeated the Demon Deacons, 36-24.
According to Hoffman, head coach Matt Wells and athletic director John Hartwell say the Aggies did not receive inside information on Wake Forest prior to its first-ever win over an Atlantic Coast Conference opponent.
