Calvert's 50-yard field on last play lifts Wake Forest past SMU 13-12

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- , Connor Calvert barely made a 50-yard field goal on the final play to give Wake Forest a 13-12 win over SMU on Saturday, sending the Mustangs to their first loss in Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season play. The Mustangs had won 20 straight regular-season conference games, the longest then-active such streak in the nation. SMU won its last nine in the American Athletic Conference and its first 11 after joining the Atlantic Coast Conference last season. SMU players and coaches stayed on the field, demanding a review of the ruling of the successful field goal. There was no formal review on the field, but replays showed the ball cleared the bar. “They beat us,” SMU coach Rhett Lashlee said.
