Latest Preview (Week Recent)

Turnover and Penalty Issues

Wake Forest committed four turnovers and 97 yards in penalties, which directly contributed to their loss. This lack of discipline and ball security will need to be addressed to avoid similar outcomes in future games.

Defensive Struggles Against High-Scoring Offenses

The Demon Deacons allowed a season-high 49 points, continuing a trend of giving up at least 30 points in all four losses. Their defense will need to improve significantly to compete in their bowl game.

Offensive Bright Spots Despite Loss

Robby Ashford threw for 342 yards and two touchdowns, and added a rushing touchdown and two-point conversion. The offense showed ability to move the ball, but turnovers and penalties undermined their efforts.

Momentum Shift After Three-Game Win Streak

The loss ended a three-game winning streak that included victories over SMU and Virginia. The team must regroup and find consistency to finish the season strong in their bowl matchup.
