Carson is a major part of Wake Forest’s secondary. Last season, he had 2 interceptions, 7 pass deflections and 1 fumble recovery as Wake Forest completed its second 10+ win season in program history.
Without Carson last week, Wake Forest was vulnerable to Clemson’s passing attack. DJ Uiagalelei had one of the best games of his career, throwing for 5 touchdown passes in the Tigers’ win.
Thamel also noted that nickel back Brendon Harris is expected to be available vs. the Noles despite missing last week’s contest due to injury.
The winner of this game will remain a top contender for the ACC Atlantic title. Wake Forest is hoping to defend that crown this season.
Kickoff is at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday afternoon.
