At the Pigskin Kick-off at Wake Forest, the Trojans show impressive flashes on both sides of the ball with a 2-score a piece split with Leesville Road and 4 scores against Wake Forest-Rolesville, the pre-season pick to win the Cap 7. The Trojans hold the Cougars without a first down on their first two series, with Chaz Damon, Ashton Anglin-Stone and Jeremiah Davis recording sacks and shutting down the WF-R running game. The Trojans get a 26-yard BG Howell-to-Brandon Byars TD for their first score against the Cougars, set up by 9- and 14-yard rushes by Jamal Leach. On the Trojans second series Howell hits Michael Brantley from 10-yards out for the score and adds another 26-yarder to Ian Hunter. The final score of the session, Cody Woodall hits Kel Johnson streaking down the middle for 29 yards.
In the earlier session, Connor McLaurin scores twice for the Trojans from goal line situations. Damon again consistently put pressure on the Pride QB, with Jonathon Stevenson also recording several tackles for loss. The Pride get a 40-yard score on a 4th and 11 swing pass and a 1-yard dive. In the final goal line stand as the session ends Anglin-Stone and McLaurin record tackles for loss to end the Pride session with both teams scoring twice.
