12/12/20 - Hank Bachmeier, rSr/2025, Wake Forest + More +

Hank Bachmeier was 19 of 28 for 181 yards, with one touchdown pass and one interception to help Boise State beat Wyoming 17-9 on Saturday night. The Broncos (5-1, 5-0) will appear in their fourth consecutive Mountain West Conference championship game when they play San Jose State (6-0) on Saturday. With both teams undefeated, the conference will announce the host site and kickoff time on Sunday. Boise State cancelled their regular season matchup against the Spartans due to COVID-19.

It snowed throughout the game and the field was covered with snow as the Boise State defense held the Cowboys (2-4, 2-4) to 146 yards of offense -- their lowest output since 2017. Andrew Van Buren ran 25 times for 79 yards and scored on a touchdown run that made it 17-6 in the final minute of the third quarter. Khalil Shakir had three catches for 48 yards during the same scoring drive and finished with eight catches for 105 yards. Xazavian Valladay ran 11 times for 59 yards for Wyoming. - Boise State/AP College Football

12/08/20 - Nick Sciba, Sr/2022, Wake Forest + More +

2020 LOU GROZA COLLEGIATE PLACE-KICKER AWARD NATIONAL SEMIFINALIST: Nick Sciba - Wake Forest,...Sciba enters the weekend with 10 consecutive makes on the season, which currently ranks third nationally just trailing Jake Oldroyd (BYU) and Will Reichard (Alabama). Oldroyd and Reichard have both connected on 11 consecutive field goals. This season, Sciba has been named a Lou Groza Star of the Week twice this season for his efforts in wins over Virginia and Virginia Tech.

Against Virginia, he connected on a season-high 4-of-4 field goals, helping Wake Forest to its first conference win of the season. His 3-of-3 performance the next week was equally as crucial in the win over No. 19 Virginia Tech. This included a season-long 46-yard boot in the third quarter. In his career, Sciba owns a .887 field goal percentage (55-of-62), which ranks second in ACC history and is a Wake Forest program record. Over the course of his freshman and sophomore campaigns, he broke the NCAA record with 34 consecutive field goals made. - Wake Forest Football

11/21/20 - Hank Bachmeier, rSr/2025, Wake Forest + More +

The last time Boise State sophomore quarterback Hank Bachmeier started back-to-back weeks was in early October 2019, when he was emerging as a young star. He's expected to do that again Saturday - 13 months later - and against the same opponent that derailed his 2019 season: Hawaii. Bachmeier missed the Air Force win and BYU loss this season after testing positive for COVID-19, he told the media Tuesday. He returned last week to help the Broncos (3-1 overall, 3-0 Mountain West) beat Colorado State. "I can't control injuries. I can't control a global pandemic," Bachmeier said. "They're all things that are kind of out of my sphere of control. It stinks, but they're things that I can't control. But I can control how prepared I am."

Bachmeier went 6-0 as the starter last season before he was injured in the regular-season win against Hawaii. He missed the loss to BYU, returned to beat San Jose State and got injured again, then missed the final four regular-season games and the Mountain West title game against Hawaii. He was back in the lineup for the bowl loss to Washington - then didn't get to play for 10 months as the Broncos waited for a belated green light to compete during the pandemic. In all, Bachmeier is 9-1 as a starter, and the Broncos are 6-2 without him. - Idaho Statesman

10/29/20 - Nick Andersen, rJr/2026, Wake Forest + More +

Nick Andersen's moment in the spotlight continued on Tuesday night when "NBC Nightly News" highlighted his story. Andersen, a walk-on freshman, had 11 tackles and three interceptions in a victory over Virginia Tech on Saturday and earned a scholarship beginning with the spring semester. Clawson said that Andersen doesn't want the spotlight and almost turned down NBC's interview request. "I said, 'Nick, it's not too often we get to go on NBC News, so you might want to do this one," Clawson said. Clawson said that there's more to Andersen's story than just the good game. "The story isn't a walk-on with three interceptions," Clawson said. "The story is a young man that came here prepared when we lost Luke Masterson, Nazir Greer, Zion Keith and Coby Davis, here was a young man that got himself ready to play." - Winston Salem Journal

10/28/20 - Nick Andersen, rJr/2026, Wake Forest + More +

Nick Andersen, a walk-on freshman defensive back at Wake Forest who starred in Saturday's 23-16 win over Virginia Tech, was named the Bronko Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Week Award winner. This is the second time a Wake Forest player has earned this weekly honor, and the first time since Jon Abbate in 2005. Andersen, who made his second consecutive start at safety, is the first Wake Forest player with three interceptions in a game since A.J. Greene in 1987. He was also in on 11 tackles. Earlier this week Andersen was named the ACC's rookie of the week, the College Sports Madness national defensive player of the week and the Walter Camp national defensive player of the week. Andersen will also be on scholarship starting this spring after Coach Dave Clawson made that announcement to the team soon after Saturday's victory. - Winston Salem Journal
