Wake Forest looks to keep rolling as it heads south to face No. 7/6 Miami this Saturday at Sun Life Stadium.
Kickoff is scheduled for 12:00 p.m. and will be broadcast on ESPNU. It can also be heard on the Wake Forest Sports Network and online at WakeForestSports.com.

Last time Out

Michael Campanaro set the Wake Forest career receptions record and Tanner Price scored an unconventional hat trick with three touchdowns, three different ways, as Wake Forest cruised past Maryland 34-10 last Saturday.
Campanaro caught the 217th pass of his career in the waning minutes of the game, moving him past Desmond Clark for first place on Wake Forest's all-time chart.
The win was Jim Grobe's 77th as head coach of the Demon Deacons, moving him into a tie with legendary coach Peahead Walker as the winningest coach in program history.
Price had a unique night, becoming only the second ACC player since 2000 to record a passing, rushing and receiving touchdown in the same game.
Nikita Whitlock recorded two sacks in the game, giving him seven for the season. He has also recorded a tackle for loss in all seven games.
