When Appalachian State has the ball: Appalachian State has made its mark running the ball in past years, but the Mountaineers have had more success through the air lately. Quarterback Taylor Lamb passed for 327 yards and five touchdowns in a 54-7 win over Savannah State in week 2, and the senior threw for 260 yards and ran for 42 more in the Mountaineers’ 20-13 win over Texas State.
When Wake Forest has the ball: The Demon Deacons have a balanced offense led by quarterback John Wolford. His favorite receiver is Greg Dortch, who had caught 14 passes this season. Arkeem Byrd, who has gained 199 yards on 29 carries and has scored a touchdown, is the Deacons’ leading rusher.
