Wake Forest vs. Miami: Box score, stats, game summary and more ft. Cam Ward

Saturday's game between the Wake Forest Demon Deacons (4-6) and the No. 11 Miami Hurricanes (9-1) wasn't expected to be close.

The Hurricanes were coming off a 28–23 loss to Georgia Tech, their first of the season, and had an open week to recover. Conversely, Wake Forest had lost its two most recent games, including 31–24 to UNC last Saturday.

Despite Miami's recent loss, it was still a heavy favorite heading into the game. DraftKings had Miami as a massive -2800 favorite to win, and Wake Forest was a +1300 underdog before the game started. Those odds proved accurate as Miami won the game in dominant fashion, 42-14.
