What happened: Wake Forest head coach Jake Dickert told Dave Goren during an in-game interview that his team came to play 60 minutes and their opponent had nowhere to hide. The comments came as quarterback Gio Lopez rushed for two first-half touchdowns to extend the margin.

Why it matters: Dickert signed a long-term contract extension on Friday after guiding the program to an 8-1 start. A dominant road showing reinforces Wake Forest's postseason resume as the selection committee evaluates top-15 contenders.

What to watch: Wake Forest looks to close out the second half before the updated College Football Playoff rankings are released on Tuesday.
