We have a slight schedule change in the 2019 football schedule. The first road game of the season against the Rice Owls, which was originally scheduled to be played on September 7th, has been moved back 1 day to Friday, September 6th.
The reason for the move is to accommodate CUSA’s TV package, according to the Wake Forest release.
The change actually helps Wake Forest, as the Deacs host UNC at home on the following Thursday. Moving the game to Friday gives coach Clawson and the rest of the coaching staff an extra day to prepare on the short week.
