Last Time Out

Wake Forest trimmed a 29-7 halftime deficit down to eight points but Utah State's defense stiffened in crunch time as the Demon Deacons fell 36-24 last Saturday in Logan, Utah.
Tight end Cam Serigne caught a career-high seven passes for 91 yards to lead the receiving corps.
Grad student E.J. Scott had five receptions including a 10-yard touchdown grab, his third of the season.
Defensively, sophomore safety Ryan Janvion made a career-high 18 tackles to go along with one pass breakup.
Defensive tackle Josh Banks hauled-in an arrent pass and scampered 70 yards for his first-career touchdown, giving the Deacons an early 7-0 lead.
