BERKELEY, Calif. -- , Gio Lopez threw three of his four touchdown passes in the first half and No. 21 Wake Forest rolled past California 41-7 on Saturday night. The Demon Deacons (6-1, 4-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) dominated from the start by scoring touchdowns on five of six first-half possessions to bring out the boo birds from the home crowd for the Golden Bears (3-4, 2-2). Wake Forest celebrated its first ranking in the AP poll in four years with the thorough victory. Lopez threw for 267 yards with three of the touchdowns coming on passes to tight end Dominick Barry , including two long ones in the first half. He also connected with Jack Foley in the first half to give him 23 total touchdowns this season passing and running. Cal was unable to build on last week’s dramatic 25-20 win against Virginia Tech and lost for the third time in four home games against FBS competition.
