Reviewing the Wake Forest Football Offense

The line only gave up a total of 17 sacks for 101 yards this season, which is a little under 1.5 sacks per game.

Wolford is the first quarterback in NCAA history to account for 35 touchdowns while only throwing six interceptions. His 35 touchdowns are the most in a single season Wake Forest history, passing Riley Skinner’s mark of 28 set in 2009. His 74 career touchdowns surpassed the previous program record of 65 set by Riley Skinner and Tanner Price. His 25 passing touchdowns this season are second only to Riley Skinner’s 26, which he will likely break in the bowl game.

John’s 8394 career passing yards are third in program history behind Skinner and Price. His 2792 passing yards this season are third behind Skinner and Price, though with a really good bowl game performance he could pass Price. His 9446 career yards rank second only to Skinner’s 9923. He has 55 career passing touchdowns, second only to Skinner’s 60.

John has accounted for 3407 yards this year, which broke Riley Skinner’s single season record of 3216. Wolford’s 499 yard game against Syracuse this year and his 475 yard game against Louisville rank 3rd and 4th in program history for most yards in a single game. His 461 passing yards against Louisville rank 5th in program history for passing yards in a single game. Wolford’s 5 passing touchdowns against Louisville tied Jay Venuto’s program record set in 1980.

Freshman receiver Greg Dortch went out with an injury after the Louisville game, but still set several records for a freshman receiver. Dortch had 53 receptions for 722 yards and nine receiving touchdowns in 8 games.

Senior tight end Cam Serigne had a record breaking season of his own. He holds the ACC record for receiving touchdowns by a tight end with 20, as well as the ACC record for career receiving yards by a tight end with 1963 yards (and counting). He is tied for fifth on the Wake Forest single season receiving touchdowns list with eight this year.

Tabari Hines, Scotty Washington, Alex Bachman, and Chuck Wade all did a nice job of stepping up in the absence of Dortch, as they combined for 11 touchdowns on the season, most of which came after Dortch’s injury. Hines had 27 receptions for 375 yards and 4 TDs after taking over in the slot for Dortch in the last 4 games.

Matt Colburn II took over as primary back as the season wore on and had 145 rushing attempts for 754 yards and 6 touchdowns. He averaged 62.8 rushing yards per game to lead the team in rushing. His big breakthrough came in the Louisville game though, and his 237 yards rushing against Syracuse rank seventh all time in program history.

Kicker Mike Weaver’s 19 field goals this season place him tied for 3rd on the all-time list behind himself last year and Sam Swank. His 66 career field goals are second to only Sam Swank. Weaver’s career field goal percentage of 76.7% currently ranks best in Wake Forest program history.
