Wake Forest vs. Virginia updates: Live NCAA Football game scores, results for Saturday
Live scores, highlights and updates from the Wake Forest vs. Virginia football game
The Wake Forest Demon Deacons have had a week off and are no doubt ready to get back on the field. Wake Forest and the Virginia Cavaliers will face off in an ACC battle at 4 p.m. ET on Saturday at Truist Field. The Demon Deacons should still be feeling good after a victory, while Virginia will be looking to right the ship.
You can't lose the game if you win every quarter, and that was precisely Wake Forest's strategy against the Campbell Fighting Camels two weeks ago. Wake Forest took their contest at home with ease, bagging a 66-14 win over Campbell. The matchup was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point Wake Forest had established a 52-14 advantage. RB Christian Beal-Smith had a stellar game for Wake Forest as he rushed for three TDs and 130 yards on 20 carries.
Wake Forest's defense was a presence as well, as it collected two interceptions and two fumbles. The picks came courtesy of DB Traveon Redd and DB Zion Keith.
Meanwhile, the point spread favored Virginia last week, but luck did not. They took a 38-21 bruising from the NC State Wolfpack. QB Lindell Stone put forth a good effort for the losing side as he passed for three TDs and 240 yards on 54 attempts.
Wake Forest's victory brought them up to 1-2 while the Cavaliers' defeat pulled them down to an identical 1-2. A couple numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: The Demon Deacons have yet to throw a single interception. But Virginia enters the contest having picked the ball off five times, good for fifth in the nation. We'll see which of these strengths -- offense or defense -- will win out.
