CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – The Atlantic Coast Conference announced today (Oct. 27) that Virginia’s penultimate home contest, against Wake Forest on Saturday, Nov. 8, is set for 7 p.m. on either ESPN, ESPN2 or ACC Network.
In last year’s meeting in Winston-Salem, N.C., Virginia opened ACC play with a 31-30 win, snapping a five-game skid in the series. Safety Antonio Clary recovered a fumble with less than 90 seconds to play, and Daniel Sparks’ 59-yard punt rolled to the Demon Deacons’ 5-yard line with under a minute remaining to help seal the victory.
Wake (5-2, 2-2 ACC), which travels to Florida State this Saturday for a 7:30 p.m. tilt on ACC Network, has won its last three games. This past Saturday (Oct. 25), Connor Calvert connected on a 50-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Deacs over SMU, 13-12, at Allegacy Federal Credit Union Stadium (Winston-Salem, N.C.).
