At Monday's weekly press conference, Wake Forest head coach Jake Dickert provided some welcome updates about two integral players on his offense leading up to Saturday's tilt against Purdue. Wide receiver Carlos Hernandez left Thursday's opener in the first half after a crushing hit late in the second quarter. "I think Carlos will be fine," said Dickert when asked about his receiver's status. "It's just one of those things where he just kept cramping on him a little bit and could never catch his breath. So we just weren't in a position to get him back out there, but I think he'll be 100% this week." Hernandez showed his connection with Gio Lopez in his 28 snaps. 9 catches for 165 yards and a touchdown sparked a 28-3 halftime lead.  The offensive line saw some shuffling, partly due to third year interior offensive lineman Clinton Richard missing the first contest. He'll be back in action this week, giving them more experience at the left guard spot.  "Clinton Richard will be back this week for the game, which — any time you can have a player of Clint's caliber back in as one established piece of that offensive line — I think that's going to be a big positive for our whole offense and that unit in general." Richard started last year's season opener but suffered a broken bone in his foot on the final drive against Kennesaw State. He returned in November against North Carolina and became a cornerstone at his position they prioritized keeping this offseason.  In his absence on Thursday, Oregon State transfer Ryan Berger shifted over to the left side of the line, a position he didn't see time at all during spring camp. He'll now get to move back to his more natural position on the right side.
