Hedlund Off On The Right Foot

Redshirt-freshman Chad Hedlund attempted and made his first-career field at the end of the first half, giving the Deacons a 10-7 lead.
The kick was 22 yards.
He then knocked home his second field goal with a 44-yarder on the opening drive of the second half.
Hedlund made a third field goal, a 24-yarder, with 4:15 to play in the third.
That is the first three field goal game for the Deacons since Jimmy Newman made three fields in the 2011 season opener at Syracuse.

Johnson With Another

Cornerback Kevin Johnson recorded his second interception in as many games.
That was also his second-career interception.
Johnson notched his first fumble recovery in the game as well, falling on a fumble in the third quarter.
Johnson finished the game with four tackles, an interception, a pass breakup and a fumble recovery.

Price On The Receiving End

Quarterback Tanner Price caught his second-career pass, gaining six yards on the play.
He also caught one pass during the 2009 season for a gain of nine yards.
Price had a solid game running the ball as well, finishing with a season-high 24 yards on 12 carries.

Run Stuffers

For the second-straight game, the Wake Forest defense held its opponent under 60 yards rushing.
The Deacons allowed just 48 yards on 32 carries to the Cavaliers.
That came after allowing just 53 yards to Maryland on Oct. 6.

Big Play Harris

Freshman Tylor Harris came off the bench in the fourth quarter after starting nose guard Nikita Whitlock's helmet came off on the previous play.
All Harris did was make a huge 11-yard sack on 3rd and 12, forcing Virginia to punt.
That was Harris' first career sack.

Kinal With A Good Day

Freshman punter Alexander Kinal punted 10 times on the day for a season-best average of 44.5 yards.
He also downed three punts inside the 20 yardline, giving him 18 for the season.
Since 2001, the most punts downed inside the 20 in a season is 21 by Sam Swank in 2007.

Non-QB Passing Under Grobe

Running back Deande Martin was 1-of-2 passing on the day out of the wildcat format.
His pass completion went for six yards to quarterback Tanner Price.
Under Grobe, the Deacons are now 24-of-35 passing for 700 yards, eight touchdowns and just one interception.

Miscellaneous Notes

Wake Forest captains were Terence Davis and Hasan Hazime.
Wake Forest won the toss and deferred to the second half.
