Impact Hernandez was deemed a game-time decision ahead of kickoff Saturday and suited up, though he was limited. The wideout was not able to draw a target or provide his usual lift to the offense. Due to the nature of the blowout, it is possible Wake Forest rested him, not wanting to reaggravate the undisclosed injury he was dealing with prior. He has an upcoming bye week before Wake Forest faces Virginia on Oct. 31.
