The Commodores will be fired up for Saturday's game after getting off to a fast start this season. They put the college football world on notice with their 63-10 win at Hawaii in Week 0, and they followed it up with a 42-31 win over Elon last week. Quarterback Mike Wright became the first player in school history to account for six touchdowns in a game, throwing for four and adding two more on the ground against Elon.'
Freshman wide receiver Jayden McGowan was named the SEC Freshman of the Week after catching four passes for 118 yards, including a 75-yard touchdown. This is going to be the first real test for a Wake Forest team that is not expected to be as good as it was last year. The Commodores have covered the spread in five of their last six games, while Wake Forest is 1-4 in its last five games against SEC opponents.'
Wake Forest might have a new quarterback under center this season, but it was not evident against VMI last week. Quarterback Mitch Griffis threw for 288 yards and three touchdowns in his first career start, leading his team to a 44-10 blowout win. Veteran Sam Hartman was sidelined due to a non-football medical issue, but he is listed as probable to play on Saturday.'
The Demon Deacons rattled off 506 total yards and will be facing a Vanderbilt defense that allowed 31 points to Elon last week. Vanderbilt has not been 3-0 since the 2017 season, so it is unlikely that the Commodores can pull off an upset in this game. Wake Forest is 12-3 in its last 15 games and has covered the spread in six of its last nine contests.'
