Wake Forest (2-2, 0-2 ACC) and Virginia Tech (2-3, 1-0 ACC) meet this afternoon at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg for a Week 6 ACC matchup. The Demon Deacons look to end their conference skid, while the Hokies aim to defend home turf after edging NC State last weekend.
Wake Forest enters after a 30-29 overtime defeat, going for two after their OT touchdown, but quarterback Robby Ashford’s pass was intercepted by Clayton Powell-Lee to end it.
The Demon Deacons have a balanced but inconsistent offense, averaging roughly 411 yards per game. Ashford has thrown for 916 yards but just one touchdown against three interceptions. On the ground, Demond Claiborne has been a bright spot with 366 rushing yards and six touchdowns.
Still, red-zone execution remains an issue — the Deacons have converted on just 69.2% of their trips, ranking 127th nationally — and they’ve averaged only 27 minutes of possession per game. Defensively, they sit mid-pack, giving up about 340.5 yards per contest.
Virginia Tech’s offense has been slightly less productive overall, averaging 376.8 yards per game (221 passing, 155.8 rushing) and 23.6 points per outing.
Quarterback Kyron Drones has accounted for 1,105 total yards, eight touchdowns, and three interceptions, while running back Terion Stewart provides explosive potential when given carries, averaging 9.2 yards a carry. Defensively, the Hokies allow about 356.8 total yards per game, with pass coverage — around 219 yards per game — remaining a relative weakness.
Prediction
This one feels like a toss-up, leaning slightly to the home side. Wake Forest has the more dynamic offense on paper, but Virginia Tech’s defense and home field make them dangerous. If Tech can win the turnover battle and force Wake into red zone inefficiency, they’ll likely pull it out.
Projected Score: Virginia Tech 28, Wake Forest 24
