The Canes remain among the top three teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference standings. They are looking to finish in first or second place and participate in the ACC championship game.
Miami(10-1, 6-1) scored on their first possession at the 8:32 mark of the first quarter for a 7-0 advantage. Quarterback Cam Ward threw a 13-yard swing pass to wide receiver Jacolby George on the right sideline for a touchdown. It was the sixth touchdown reception for George this season.
Wake Forest((4-7, 2-5) responded with 5:31 left in the first to tie it up 7-7. Quarterback Hank Bachmeier fired a 36-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Mich Mays Jr. on the left sideline.
The Hurricanes made it 10-7 with 1:52 remaining in the quarter. Andres Borregales was able to kick a 40-yard field goal. He had made 14 of 15 field-goal attempts at that point of time this year.
In the second quarter, the U extended their lead to 17-7 at 7:50. Defensive back Mishael Powell intercepted a pass and returned it 76 yards for a score.
The Demon Deacons answered back 15 seconds later on the ensuing play and closed it to 17-14. Demond Claiborne ran back the kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown.
Miami was able to get on the scoreboard near the end of the first half. Borregales booted a 25-yard field goal with four seconds to go for a 20-14 lead.
Neither team scored during the third quarter. Miami extended it to 28-14 at the 7:58 mark of the fourth quarter when Ward plunged in up the middle from one yard out. He found Elijah Arroyo on a two-point conversion pass.
The Canes got possession of the ball quickly for their next drive. Running back Jordan Lyle rambled in on a run from 18 yards away with 6:24 remaining and they had a 35-14 advantage.
It became 42-14 for the Hurricanes with 1:53 left in the fourth. George caught a bubble-screen pass from Ward on the left hash marks and sprinted 15 yards for the touchdown.
