WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — Sam Swank kicked a 41-yard field goal with 3 seconds left to cap a dramatic final minute and give No. 20 Wake Forest a 30-28 win over Mississippi on Saturday.
After Jevan Snead’s 5-yard touchdown pass to Cordera Eason on fourth down with 1:01 left gave Ole Miss the lead, Riley Skinner led the Demon Deacons on a 56-yard drive, keyed by a pass interference penalty against Marshay Green.
Swank, the nation’s active career leader with 65 field goals, calmly drilled the game-winning field goal for the sixth lead change of the game.
Skinner completed 32-of-43 passes for a career-high 348 yards and two touchdowns and no interceptions, and D.J. Boldin caught 11 passes for 123 yards, including a 22-yard catch on the final drive.
The comeback avoided another embarrassing loss for the Atlantic Coast Conference, which was in danger of being without a ranked team next week if the Demon Deacons (2-0) followed last week’s upset losses by Clemson and Virginia Tech.
The Rebels (1-1) were a minute away from giving first-year coach Houston Nutt a signature win in only his second season, when Snead led a 7-minute, 80-yard drive. Facing fourth-and-3 from the Wake Forest 5, Snead was quickly flushed out of the pocket, scrambled right, then left and back right again before finding Eason in the front of the end zone.
Justin Sparks’ extra-point broke the tie, but the experienced Demon Deacons weren’t finished.
