MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — 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.”
