— Wake Forest Football (@WakeFB) November 9, 2025Virginia (8-2, 5-1 ACC) is now in a 4-way tie atop the conference with Georgia Tech, Pittsburgh and SMU. Duke, at 4-1 in ACC play, is lurking just behind the aforementioned foursome. Both Miami — who beat Syracuse on Saturday — and Louisville — who lost at home to California in overtime — are 4-2 in conference.
The Cavaliers played a large chunk of Saturday’s game without starting quarterback Chandler Morris. The senior signal-caller was knocked out of action in the second quarter after taking a big hit from a pair of Demon Deacon defenders. Backup quarterback Daniel Kaelin threw for 145 yards in relief of Morris.
Virginia heads to Durham for a big matchup against Duke next Saturday, Nov. 15 (3:30 p.m. E.T.).
