ESPN RECAPWolford, Wake Forest rally for 27-20 win over Virginia
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Quarterback John Wolford tied a career high with 94 rushing yards, including a 64-yard touchdown run, and Wake Forest beat Virginia 27-20 on Saturday. The Demon Deacons (6-3, 3-2 ACC) became bowl eligible for the first time since 2011 with the win, their third in a row over UVA (2-7, 1-4). Wake Forest trailed 20-17 early in the fourth quarter, and the Cavaliers had opportunities to build on the advantage. But as has often been the case in the Deacons' wins under coach Dave Clawson, the team's defense made momentum-shifting plays. On consecutive fourth quarter drives, Virginia's Kurt Benkert threw interceptions. Wake Forest capitalized on them both. Mike Weaver 's 36-yard field goal following the first of those picks made it 20-all , and safety Jessie Bates returned the second 39 yards for the go-ahead touchdown with 6:47 remaining.
