WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) --- Robby Ashford threw for three touchdowns and ran
for another as Wake Forest beat Delaware 52-14 for its third win in a row
Saturday.
Jake Dickert became the winningest first-year football coach in Wake Forest
history. The Demon Deacons (8-3) won for the sixth time in their last seven
games.
Carlos Hernandez made two touchdown catches, racking up 197 yards on five
receptions. He had TD plays of 79 and 93 yards.
Ashford was 15-for-22 for 292 yards with an interception.
Three Wake Forest players rushed for more than 60 yards, led by Chris Barnes'
78. Ty Clark III and Demond Claiborne ran for touchdowns. Connor Calvert kicked
field goals of 44, 54 and 47 yards.
Nick Minicucci threw for 140 yards and a touchdown for Delaware (5-6), which
will have to beat UTEP at home in a return to Conference USA play in order to
be in line for a bowl bid. As a program in transition to the Bowl Subdivision,
the Blue Hens only qualify for the postseason if there aren't enough other
teams reaching the six-win threshold.
Delaware's Viron Ellison Jr. took a short pass and dodged tacklers for a
43-yard touchdown in the second quarter. That ended a string of nine
consecutive quarters for Wake Forest's defense without giving up a touchdown.
The Blue Hens scored with 1:59 left on backup Braden Streeter's 25-yard pass to
Max Patterson.
The Takeaway Delaware: The Blue Hens gave up more than 30 points for the fifth time this season, allowing Wake Forest to reach that level in the first half. The Blue Hens ended up 1-5 in road games. Wake Forest: The Demon Deacons secured their most-lopsided victory of the season and finished the non-conference portion of their schedule with a 4-0 record.
