Wake Forest 53, Presbyterian 13

ACC Now | News & Observer — It will get more challenging from here for Wake Forest but the Deacons’ season-opening 53-13 victory over Presbyterian Thursday night at BB&T Field provided an encouraging start for the redesigned Deacons. With redshirt sophomore Ted Stachitas making his first start at quarterback, the Deacons rolled to a 21-0 lead in the first quarter and spent a good portion of the warm evening evaluating its potential strengths and weaknesses.

  • Breaking down Georgia Tech and S.C. State Tech Blog | Atlanta Journal-Constitution 3 keys to the game Establish the A-backs. The keys to stopping an option team are to take away the quarterback and B-back. Assuming that S.C. State tries to do that, the A-backs will need to make big plays on the edge. Neither Roddy Jones nor Embry Peeples provided a home-run rushing threat last season. Look for them to break a big play early. Find a wide receiver. Who will provide the downfield threat that Demaryius Thomas was last season? Few remember that Thomas posted relatively modest numbers in 2008 (627 yards receiving), before totaling 1,154 yards last year. Will it be Kevin Cone? Will...
