The Demon Deacons were in the game for the first portion of the game, but North Carolina's explosiveness proved to be too much, and the Tar Heels defeated the Demon Deacons by a score of 50-14. It was a complete and utter domination during the final 45 minutes of this contest.
Wake Forest got off to a hot start in this contest, but could not sustain enough for a victory. The defense had two interceptions on the first two North Carolina drives. Both Brad Watson and Demetrius Kemp made the plays for the Demon Deacons defense. Mike Weaver missed a long field goal after Brad Watson's interception, but Wake Forest capitalized after Kemp's interception, as quarterback John Wolford connected with tight end Cam Serigne to give Wake Forest a 7-0 lead.
