Wake Forest will be able to play in the Gator Bowl after all.
One day after Wake Forest’s postseason was in jeopardy due to Texas A&M’s COVID-19 issues, a replacement has been named. The Demon Deacons will now face 5-7 Rutgers.
Here’s the official announcement:
Rutgers received a waiver from the NCAA to play in the game on the merit of its 5-7 record and its excellent APR ranking. The Scarlet Knights replace Texas A&M, who announced on Wednesday that it did not have enough available players to participate in the game.
With a win, Wake Forest would improve to 11-3 on the year and match its best season in program history. The Demon Deacons won the ACC and went 11-3 in 2006.
Wake Forest will likely be heavily favored vs. a Rutgers team that will have a little more than a week to prepare.
Kick off is at 12 p.m. ET on Dec. 31.
