The Tar Heels were led by quarterback Jacolby Criswell, who threw for 238 yards and two touchdowns, including a 45-yard scoring strike to J.J. Jones in the third quarter that gave UNC a lead it would not relinquish. Running back Omarion Hampton added 105 yards on the ground and a touchdown, while the defense forced two turnovers and sacked Wake Forest quarterback Hank Bachmeier four times.
