Wake Forest - Georgia Tech Postgame Notes
Oct. 14, 2000
Recap |
Box Score
Senior running back Chris McCoy made his first career start against
Georgia Tech.
Tarence Williams' 41-yard run in the first quarter which set up WFU's
first touchdown was a career-long for the sophomore running back. He
then broke that record with a 48-yard rush in the third quarter. It is
also the third-longest run from scrimmage for the Deacs this season.
Ira Williams seems to have become quarterback Anthony Young's favorite
target when throwing to the endzone. Both of Young's TD passes this
season, including a 16-yard toss in the second quarter against the
Yellow Jackets, have been to the junior receiver. For Williams, the
catch against Tech was his fourth career touchdown reception.
Tarence Williams also recorded his best day in a Wake Forest uniform,
rushing for a career-high and team season-best 110 yards. He is the
second Deacon this season to rush for over 100 yards -- Anthony Young
recorded 102 against Virginia.
Let's make it four notes in a row about a Deacon named Williams. Ira
Williams also had a career-best day against Tech, catching nine passes
for 80 yards, including a 16-yard touchdown strike from Anthony Young.
Fabian Davis was another Deacon receiver to record a career-best day,
catching nine passes for 125 yards. His yardage total was the first time
a Deacon has recorded over 100 yards receiving since Jammie Deese
compiled 106 yards against Rutgers last season (Oct. 2). Davis'
previous career high was 53 yards against Vanderbilt last week.
Today's contest marked the first time this season the Deacs have
scored three touchdowns in a game. Three different Deacons found the
endzone ^ Jamie Scott on a two-yard run (his second this season), Ira
Williams on a 16-yard reception from Anthony Young and a career-first TD
run by sophomore fullback Ovie Mughelli.
Wake Forest continues to improve its offensive statistics each week.
Today's game marked the fourth straight contest in which the Deacs have
increased their passing yardage and total offense numbers. Against the
Yellow Jackets, Wake Forest recorded over 200 yards passing and over 400
yards in total offense, both firsts for this season. The last time the
Deacs surpassed 400 yards in total offense was against Georgia Tech in
the final game of the 1999 regular season, finishing with 410 yards.
The last time the Deacs had over 200 passing yards was when they
compiled 306 the previous week against Duke (Nov. 13).
