QBs Mensah at No. 5 Miami, Lopez at Wake Forest meet Friday as thriving QBs after in-ACC transfers

Darian Mensah, a standout quarterback from Duke, is set to join Miami, while Gio Lopez, a former South Alabama player, will lead the Demon Deacons at Wake Forest. Both transfers have quickly established themselves as top quarterbacks in the Atlantic Coast Conference after their moves within the conference. Miami's offense, spearheaded by Mensah, is dominating with an impressive total offense ranking of eighth in the nation, while Lopez has proven to be a formidable force in reuniting with his former coordinator, Rob Ezell, at Wake Forest.

The two teams, Miami and Wake Forest, will face off on Friday in a significant matchup since their last meeting in 2013, with only one previous win for Miami.
