Wake Forest Hosts Delaware in Exciting College Football Matchup
Winston-Salem, North Carolina – The Wake Forest Demon Deacons (7-3) will welcome the Delaware Fightin’ Blue Hens (5-5) for a non-conference game on Saturday. This matchup follows Wake Forest’s recent victory over North Carolina, where they secured a 28-12 win, marking their second consecutive triumph.
Last week, Wake Forest dominated throughout the game. Quarterback Robby Ashford completed 191 passing yards and contributed with a rushing touchdown. Running back Demond Claiborne rushed for 98 yards and added another touchdown on 23 carries. Furthermore, Carlos Hernandez made headlines by scoring on a 51-yard touchdown play after recovering a fumble from Ashford. The team’s defense also played a crucial role, limiting North Carolina to just 257 yards of total offense.
Conversely, Delaware is looking to bounce back from a disappointing 26-23 loss to Sam Houston, which placed them at 3-4 in Conference USA. Quarterback Nick Minicucci had an impressive showing with 338 passing yards, a touchdown, and a rushing score, but his performance was marred by an interception. Running back Viron Ellison Jr. added a touchdown with 97 yards on the ground. Despite strong individual efforts, Delaware’s three turnovers proved costly.
This will be the third meeting between Wake Forest and Delaware, with the Demon Deacons winning both previous encounters. The last game occurred on September 17, 2016, when Wake Forest prevailed with a 38-21 home victory.
