Wake Forest quarterback Mitch Griffis won’t play today against Pittsburgh, according to a report from ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
Griffis, who has started each of the Demon Deacons’ previous six games, has completed 59.1% of his passes this year for 1,211 yards, nine touchdowns, and six interceptions. His QBR of 35.7 was 117th in the country and last among starters in the conference entering Saturday.
The report came after multiple Wake Forest beat reporters noticed Griffis wasn’t visible during the team’s pregame warmups.
Griffis’ backup, Michael Kern, also won’t be available for the Demon Deacons.
The Demon Deacons will turn to redshirt sophomore Santino Marucci against Pittsburgh.
