ETSU will be putting its trust in RB Bryson Irby who has run this year for 515 yards and 5 TDs on the season. The defense for the Terriers will be hoping ILB Jalen Marshall who has 58 tackles can keep the offense under control.

Wofford is able to hold strong against the ETSU Bucs as a reverse goes wrong and ends up backwards. Then the next play Wofford intercepts the Bucs QB at the 30-yard line and Wofford is now first and ten. The first quarter is in the books and the score is 0-0 as both teams have been able to get in the red zone, though the Bucs have come close but missed the field goal.

ETSU marches down the field but Wofford holds on fourth down and takes over and starts its march down the field and is on the ETSU 39-yard line of the Bucs. The Terriers have less than 3 minutes left in the game to get a score to get the score closer. Wofford takes it to the 32-yard line but is unable to get a first down so with 2 minutes remaining ETSU is going to run out this clock and when this game 24-7 over a gutsy Wofford team who played better than what the score shows.
