A span of 96 seconds in the fourth quarter completely flipped the Virginia-Wake Forest game on its head as a tie game turned into a 14-point lead for the Demon Deacons. After the Cavaliers tied the game at 23-23, Wake Forest rattled off a 75-yard touchdown run to retake the advantage. On the ensuing kick off, second year Perris Jones fumbled the ball, and Wake would push it’s lead to 37-23 in the blink of an eye.
Costly mistakes were the name of the game for Virginia as the Hoos messed up coverages, missed a field goal that would have given them the lead, and had multiple first downs wiped off the board with penalties.
