BOSTON (AP) — Tanner Price threw a 47-yard TD pass to Chris Givens on Wake Forest’s first possession of the second half as the Demon Deacons opened a 15-point lead before holding off Boston College 27-19 on Saturday.

Price completed 19 of 28 passes for 252 yards for Wake Forest (3-1, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference). Josh Harris rushed 19 times for 60 yards, including a 2-yard TD in the opening quarter.

Boston College’s Montel Harris carried 22 times for 108 yards, setting the school’s all-time rushing record with a 26-yard carry early in the final quarter. He currently has 3,735 yards, breaking the mark held by Derrick Knight (2003). Knight had 3,725 career yards.

Boston College’s Chase Rettig completed 23 of 47 for 188 yards with a TD pass and an interception, but he was stopped a yard short on a fourth-and-4 run at Wake Forest’s 44 with just under two minutes left.
