Wake Forest enters the September 3 season opener as a heavy favorite against Akron, reflecting the significant gap between an ACC program coming off a 9-4 campaign and a MAC squad that finished 5-7. The Demon Deacons benefit from home-field advantage at Allegacy Stadium and a new starting quarterback in transfer Gio Lopez from North Carolina, who brings experience and mobility to an offense under coordinator Rob Ezell. Akron relies on returning 1,000-yard rusher Jordan Gant but faces uncertainty at quarterback, where Reese Poffenbarger’s eligibility remains in question and backup Brayden Roggow has limited experience. Depth chart releases and fall camp reports show Wake Forest addressing offensive line turnover while maintaining defensive continuity, factors that have shaped trader consensus around a decisive home victory. Potential variables include any late injury developments or special teams miscues that could influence the final margin in this first meeting between the programs.
