Football Game Notes - Wake Forest vs. Virginia - Wake Forest University Athletics

Oct. 16, 2012

Fresh off a bye week, Wake Forest will look to snap a two-game skid this Saturday as it heads to Charlottesville, Va. and Scott Stadium to take on the Virginia Cavaliers.
The game is set to kickoff at 12:30 p.m. It will be televised on the ACC Network and can be heard on the Wake Forest IMG Sports Network.
The Demon Deacons are seeking to buck a recent trend of tough losses at Scott Stadium. Wake Forest has dropped 11 of its last 12 games in Charlotteville.
The last two losses in 2007 and 2003 have come by a combined four points.
Wake Forest's last win at Scott Stadium was a 34-30 victory in 2001.
The Deacons will once again be without their top receiver Michael Campanaro who is still recovering from a broken hand which he suffered in the loss to Duke on Sept. 29.
In Campanaro's absence, senior Terence Davis has stepped-up and had a pair of solid games. Davis notched a then career-high six catches for 100 yards against Duke but he topped those numbers with seven catches for 130 yards at Maryland.
One of Davis' grabs at Maryland went for a 73-yard touchdown which was the longest reception of his career.
Junior quarterback Tanner Price was 13-of-38 against Maryland for 170 yards and his 33rd and 34th career touchdown passes. His 34 career TDs are sixth-most in school history.
Defensively, Clarksville, Md., native Kevin Johnson had four tackles and his first-career interception against Maryland.

Next Up

Wake Forest will have a short week as it hosts Clemson on Thursday night on ESPN.
The Deacons hung tough with Clemson last year in Death Valley, falling on a last second field goal 31-28.
The two teams also met on a Thursday night ESPN game in 2008 at BB&T Field when the Deacons pulled-out a 12-7 victory. That ultimately was Tommy Bowden's final game as Clemson head coach.
