Matchup
Recap
Wake Forest escaped Scott Stadium with a hard-fought 16-9 victory over Virginia, sparked by Carlos Hernandez's momentum-shifting 88-yard punt return touchdown late in the second quarter. The Demon Deacons' special teams proved decisive as kicker Connor Calvert connected on three field goals, including two from 49+ yards in the second half. Despite Will Bettridge's perfect 3-for-3 field goal performance, the Cavaliers couldn't find the end zone and their comeback hopes fizzled in the fourth quarter.
