Players to Watch: Rice Owls

Wake Forest fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The last two weeks have been a struggle, to say the least. They first had to deal with one of the best, and underrated, running backs in college football in AJ Dillon. He had his season high in rushing yards with 85 against the team’s defense.

After that, the team went up against another powerhouse on offense. With a complementary attack on the air and ground, 8th ranked Notre Dame was simply too powerful for Wake’s defense. The team once again struggled to find much success defensively as the Irish totaled 556 offensive yards while scoring a eight touchdowns.
