* at Virginia 17, No. 21 Wake Forest 16: Mikell Simpson ran one yard for a touchdown with 2:18 to play and the Cavaliers (8-2, 5-1) beat the Demon Deacons (6-3, 4-2) at Charlottesville for their third one-point victory in four games. “For some reason, we click at the end,” tight end Tom Santi said. “We’ve got the confidence that we’ve done it before, so when we get in those situations, nobody’s panicked. We can all say, ‘We’ve been here before. We can do this.’ ” Wake Forest drove to Virginia’s 30 in the closing seconds, but Sam Swank’s 47-yard field-goal attempt with two seconds left missed. He had made 13 of 14 field goals before missing his last two against Virginia.

Spiller returned a kickoff 84 yards for a touchdown, James Davis had a career-long 70-yard scoring run, Aaron Kelly caught touchdown passes covering 19 and five yards and Harper threw for two scores and set a school record with his ACC-leading 23rd touchdown pass.
