CHARLOTTESVILLE, Virginia (Ticker) -- Even after losing lastweek, Virginia is where Wake Forest wants to be - in first placein its division.


The Cavaliers look to bounce back from their first league defeatwhen they host the surging 21st-ranked Demon Deacons onSaturday in Atlantic Coast Conference play.

The Cavaliers opened their season with a 23-3 loss at Wyoming,then reeled off seven straight victories. But last week,Virginia fell to North Carolina State - which had yet to win anACC game this season - 29-24.


The Cavaliers had taken a 24-23 lead on a five-yard run byMikell Simpson with 13:12 to play. But the Wolfpack counteredwith a 30-yard TD pass from Daniel Evans to Donald Bowens midwaythrough the period, and Virginia was unable to score again.

Jameel Sewell passed for a career-high 260 yards and two TDswith two interceptions before exiting with leg cramps late inthe game.


Wake Forest followed up its loss to BC with another to Nebraska.But the defending conference champions have not tasted defeatsince.
