WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (WDBJ/AP) - The Wahoos fell on the road to the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, 40-23 Saturday.
Brennan Armstrong being sidelined due to concussion protocol, Virginia used a combination of backups Lindell Stone, Iraken Armstead and Keytoan Thompson, often rotating Stone and Armstead in the same series. Lindell Stone threw for 193 yards on 24-41 passing and two interceptions in the UVA loss.
Kenneth Walker III had 123 yards rushing and three touchdowns, including the go-ahead 75-yard scoring run for Wake Forest.
Walker took a handoff, bounced left, broke free from a Virginia tackler and raced down the left sideline to make it 30-23 early in the fourth quarter. Virginia’s Perris Jones muffed the ensuing kickoff while attempting to make a fair catch, setting up Walker for a 4-yard TD run that put the Demon Deacons (2-2, 1-2 ACC) in control for good.
The Cavaliers fall to 1-3 on the year.
