- Location: Scott Stadium, Charlottesville, Virginia
Game Overview
The No. 12 Virginia Cavaliers (8-1, 5-0 ACC) host the Wake Forest Demon Deacons (5-3, 2-3 ACC) in an Atlantic Coast Conference matchup. Virginia is heavily favored as they lead the ACC standings and have been in excellent form, while Wake Forest is coming off a heavy loss.
Key Factors to Consider
- Virginia is 8-1 overall and undefeated in conference play at 5-0, coming off a solid 31-21 road win over California. Wake Forest is 5-3 overall with a weaker 2-3 conference record and recently suffered a 42-7 blowout loss to Florida State.
- Virginia dominates the series historically, leading 35-17 all-time and won the previous meeting last season narrowly 31-30 on the road.
- No significant injury reports provided, suggesting both teams likely close to full strength.
- The game is at Scott Stadium in Virginia, offering the Cavaliers a strong home field advantage and a chance to extend their home unbeaten streak to six games.
- Virginia, atop the ACC standings and still in CFP contention, have strong motivation to maintain momentum. Wake Forest is looking to rebound from a demoralizing loss, but motivation may be lower due to their outside position in the conference race.
