First Quarter


The opening quarter saw a promising start for Tech as they took an early lead with a touchdown, thanks to Marcellous Hawkins who rushed for 48 yards and scored one touchdown. The defense also held strong, limiting Wake to just a field goal.


Second Quarter


However, the second quarter proved challenging for the home team. The Deacons surged ahead with three touchdowns, capitalizing on their offensive momentum. Despite this setback, Isaiah Brown-Murray stood out by intercepting a pass and returning it for 11 yards.


Third Quarter


In response during the third quarter, John Love showcased his kicking prowess by converting three field goals from within 39 yards each time. Meanwhile, Kyron Drones connected with Takye Heath on a significant play that resulted in Heath's lone receiving touchdown of nine yards.


Fourth Quarter


As both teams entered into what would be their final period of play without scoring any further points themselves; it was clear that defensive efforts were paramount throughout much of these proceedings – particularly evident when Jason Abbey recorded one sack alongside Jaden Keller’s notable tackle-for-loss contribution which totaled two lost rushing attempts overall!


The Virginia Tech Hokies vs Wake Forest Demon Deacons final score reflected not only how well-matched these competitors truly are but also highlighted key performances across various positions such as Noah Chambers’ four tackles or P.J Prioleau’s impressive kick return yardage totaling up at twenty-six altogether!
