Skinner throws three TD passes to lead Wake Forest in rout of Baylor

---

Waco, TX (Sports Network) - Riley Skinner went 27-of-36 passing for 220 yards and three touchdowns to lead 23rd-ranked Wake Forest in a 41-13 romp over Baylor in the season opener for both schools.

Ben Wooster caught six passes for 90 yards and a score for the Demon Deacons (1-0), who are coming off a 9-4 mark last season that included a Meineke Car Care Bowl win over Connecticut.

Chip Brinkman had 29 yards receiving on three receptions, but two of those went for scores. Josh Adams and Brandon Pendergrass each had 14 attempts rushing and a touchdown.

Robert Griffin completed 11-of-19 passes for 125 yards for Baylor (0-1), which opened the Art Briles era with a loss. After a 3-9 finish last season that included a season-ending eight-game losing streak, Baylor brought in Briles to replace head coach Guy Morriss.

Kirby Freeman also saw time at quarterback and went 4-of-11 for 31 yards and was intercepted twice. Griffin ran 11 times for 29 yards and a touchdown, while Jacoby Jones added a rushing touchdown.
