After a huge win last weekend over State, the Deacs return home this Saturday to take on the Duke Blue Devils (5-6). The outcome of this game could go on to have big bowl implications as Duke fights for eligibility and Wake Forest tries to cement their position in a tier 1 bowl. I’m already in Thanksgiving mode, so this edition is going to be a bit abbreviated. Here are the players to watch:
- Rushing: 129 carries, 705 yards (6.6 avg), 5 TD
- Receiving: 30 receptions, 212 yards, 3 TD
- Threat in both the passing and running game: 1st on the team in rushing yards, 3rd on the team in receptions
- Leads receivers and backs with 8 total TDs
- 73 rushing yards, 36 receiving yards for 2 TDs, 1-1 passing with 1 TD last week
- As a punt/kick returner, he has great vision running in the open field.
