It’s not often that a team can gain nearly half as many total yards as their opposition, yet still win by multiple scores. However, that is exactly what the Wisconsin Badgers (4-3) did in their 42-28 victory over the Wake Forest Demon Deacons (4-5 overall, 3-4 ACC), in the 2020 Duke’s Mayo Bowl.
The Demon Deacons amassed 518 total yards in the game, compared to the Wisconsin’s 266 total yards. Wake Forest’s four touchdown drives went for an average of 61.25 yards whereas Wisconsin averaged just 22 yards per scoring drive.
Wake Forest, who is one of the faster paced offenses in the college football, lived up to the billing early on against Wisconsin, scoring on back-to-back drives to start the game.
