Ty Clark III

The Wake Forest running game is kind of a committee-type situation.

Ty Clark III and Deuce Lawrence are their two main ball carriers.

They have, honestly, like, pretty identical stats.

Ty Clark has 50 carries, Lawrence has 47.

And you make a good point, how much will they rush Gio Lopez? I think that game just called for them to run the quarterback, 12 carries, three rushing touchdowns.

You still got Ty Clark, we've seen him be able to take the load as far as running the football, Deuce Lawrence as well.

So that's why I say there's a lot of good playmakers here for this Wake Forest team.

And obviously that's all led by Carlos Hernandez, the receiver there for a week.

I think that's my biggest beef is this Wake Forest team is far more talented than people are giving them credit for.

Whether that's been Jill Lopez and his resurgence at the quarterback position, whether that's been Ty Clark or Deuce Lawrence at the running back position.

Of course, Carlos Fernandez is their explosive weapon on the outside.

The thing that stands out to me about Wake Forest, obviously, they don't beat themselves.

Kendrick Raphael, over 100 yards and three touchdowns.

Ty Clark at Wake Forest, able to get chunk yardage at will.

You have to make this NC State offense one-dimensional.

Get after the quarterback and force C.J. Bailey to make mistakes.

You've got really good edge rushers, but there's some question marks on the interior of that defensive line, and you saw Kendrick Raphael run all over the Cardinals.

You saw Ty Clark be successful.

They somehow kept Ole Miss in check, and I think that's probably because Keywon Lacy got banged up, but They've had some struggles in ACC play, and I look at what Jaden Scott has done, and he's averaging six yards a carry, and he's had a couple of explosive plays.

So what can you tell me about what he's been able to do in 2026?

Georgia Tech had some joy on that.

So if Wake Forest is going to scheme it up a little bit, you would think that running back Ty Clark, for instance, may be out in the pattern a couple times.

Clark does not run a ton of routes, but you wonder if they can get that going a little bit.

I'm not saying anything at all right now.

They're getting Dwyer back at receipt or got Dwyer back at receiver in that game.

But yeah, TC or excuse me, UCF had them in like third and a million a lot of times.

But UCF also has a legit running back.

in Duke Watson.

They have really explosive players on the offensive side.

Ty Clark, really good job punching in some of those touchdowns down in the low red zone.

Carlos Hernandez, working his way into being a all ACC receiver this year.

And Gio Lopez is tough as nails, literally like rusty nails.
