From Gardner Stadium, Wakefield lost 64-14 against Wis ner-Pilger on Sept. 19
The Trojans fell to 0-4 as the visiting Gators improved to 3-1.
Head coach for Wakefield, Joe Kvidera said, "this was another tough game for us against a good opponent. Unfortunately, we under-performed and had too many mistakes to make it much of a contest. We have to figure how to get out of the rut of under-performance. We have another tough opponent in GACC this week and we will need to continue to grind away and try to get better each day."
