The Miami Hurricanes defeated Wake Forest 42-14 in a game that saw the Hurricanes' offense explode in the fourth quarter. Cam Ward threw for 280 yards and two touchdowns, breaking more Miami passing records.
Wake Forest figured it wouldn't keep Miami's offense quiet forever. To their chagrin, the Demon Deacons were right. Cam Ward passed for 280 yards and threw two touchdowns to Jacolby George on another record-breaking day, Mishael Powell ran an interception back 76 yards for a touchdown and No. 11 Miami pulled away with 22 fourth-quarter points to beat Wake Forest 42-14 on Saturday. The Hurricanes (10-1, 6-1 Atlantic Coast Conference, No.
8 College Football Playoff) can clinch a berth in the ACC title game with a win at Syracuse next weekend. No. 13 SMU clinched the other spot by routing Virginia 33-7 on Saturday. “We still have nothing to lose,” Ward said. “At the end of the day, Miami was a mid team last year. We're better than they were last year. We have nothing to lose. It's good to control your destiny another week, but it doesn't mean anything if we don't win.” Ward completed 27 of 38 passes, plus ran for a score. He broke two more single-season Miami records, both of which had been held for 40 years by Bernie Kosar — most passing yards in a season and most completions in a season. Ward now has 3,774 yards on 268 completions this season. Kosar threw for 3,642 yards on 262 completions in 1984. Demond Claiborne had a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown for Wake Forest (4-7, 2-5). Claiborne also rushed for 62 yards for the Demon Deacons, and starting quarterback Hank Bachmeier was 8 of 14 passing for 86 yards and a touchdown.“With Miami and their offense, it’s a matter of time,' Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson said.'I thought our defense played really, really well — but in the fourth quarter, when the dam broke, it broke. And that’s what good teams do.” The game was offensively deceiving, given how it started. Miami went 84 yards for a touchdown on the game's first possession, Ward going 6 for 6 on the drive and capping it with a 13-yard scoring throw to Georg
