What channel is Wake Forest vs. SMU on? Time, TV schedule, live stream to watch ACC college football game

SMU (5–2) will make the trip to Winston-Salem this Saturday for a Week 9 clash against Wake Forest (4–2) at Allegacy Federal Credit Union Stadium.

The Mustangs gallop into this matchup riding high after a 35–24 victory over Clemson, a game where quarterback Kevin Jennings aired it out for 290 yards, tossing two touchdowns and one interception on 23-of-43 passing (53.5%). Jennings also showed off his legs, scrambling for 20 yards on six carries.

Wake Forest, meanwhile, looked every bit the part of a well-oiled machine in its 39–14 beatdown of Oregon State. Quarterback Deshawn Purdie was on fire, throwing for 270 yards and four touchdowns without a single blemish on his stat sheet.

Demond Claiborne added some thunder to the mix, bulldozing through the Beavers' defense for 144 rushing yards on just 16 carries—an eye-popping 9.0 yards per attempt—and capped it off with a trip to the end zone.
