This win marks a significant turnaround for Wake Forest, positioning them well as they look to build momentum in the coming weeks.
UVA came into Winston Salem eager to see how they stacked up against the Deamon Deacons…
The game had a good amount of back and forth through the first quarter and a half, until a bad decision by the UVA QB led to WF being up 7-0 after a nice pick 6 TD.
More good grinding football went into the 2nd half, when UVA’s QB tossed another pick 6, allowing Wake Forrest to widen their lead to 14-0…
Despite the two picks
for touchdown, the UVA coaching staff stuck with their quarterback, thinking he would lead him out of the hole…
The Cavaliers were able to get down to the demon, Deacon one and tried to punch one in to narrow the gap, but the Wake Forest defense stood tall, and stopped the UVA Drive…
Wake then turned to their solid ground game, and gobbled up yards and time, with big number 30 breaking and TD run to seal the deal and the win for the Deacons.
Will it be changes at QB for UVA?
Stay tuned… this season’s still young.
