In this article, we will formulate a Wake Forest vs Ole Miss prediction for this College Football Week 3 game on Saturday, September 14th, at BB&T Field. Let’s take a look at a Wake Forest Demon Deacons vs Ole Miss Rebels Prediction.
Wake Forest Blew the Last Game
Wake Forest in the last game blew it against Virginia. Wake Forest was up, but they were outscored 14-0 in the 4th quarter, but that led to the 31-30 defeat. Wake Forest needs to get out to a fast start, but the defense can’t blow it again. Hank Bachmeier had a strong game, completing 27 of his 42 passes for 403 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. Wide receiver Donovan Greene finished with 11 catches for 166 yards and a touchdown. Running back Demond Claiborne finished with 21 carries for 86 yards and a touchdown.
The offense needs to get out to a fast start again, but they need to play a full four quarters. If they don’t do that, this is going to be another loss here. The defense is also going to need to try to create a couple of turnovers.
Ole Miss’s Offense Has Dominated
Ole Miss has one of the best offenses in college football, and the first two games have been impressive. In the first game against Furman, they were able to secure the 76-0 record, and in the last game against Middle Tennessee, they were able to secure a 52-3 victory. Jaxson Dart is under center, and he has gotten whatever he has wanted to start the season. He completed 25 of his 27 passes for 377 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. Running back Henry Parrish Jr had a strong game also on the ground, rushing 14 times for 165 yards and four touchdowns.
The question for this team is with the defense, and the defense is going to be tested here. A subpar defensive outing might still win it, but this should really tell them what type of defense they have.
Wake Forest vs Ole Miss Prediction
There is going to be zero defense played here. Ole Miss is an elite offensive team, and they are going to have no issue putting on a show here. I don’t trust this Wake Forest defense, and they are going to struggle here. I don’t also trust the Ole Miss defense, and they are going to get blown up here also. This game is going to feature a good quarterback play from both sides, and it’s going to be a shootout. Back the over to cash here.
