Since Coach Clawson has arrived on campus, the Deacs have had at least two wins in September. • LAST SEASON AGAINST AN ACC FOE: The Demon Deacons opened up the 2020 against an ACC opponent for the first time in 16 years. The last time Wake Forest started the season against a conference opponent came on Sept. 4, 2004 when the Deacs fell at No. 15 Clemson 37-30 in double overtime. RETURNING TALENT BACK TO WINSTON • DEACS RETURN 10 STARTERS ON DEFENSE: The defensive talent abounds for the 2020 season including every starter returning in the front seven of the defense.

Last season, Nick Sciba converted 24-of-25 attempts while hitting on his first 23 attempts of the season. He also set the school record with 119 points scored. He is on the Lou Groza Award Watchlist to start the season. • PRESEASON WATCH LISTS: Prior to the start of the 2020 season, Wake Forest had players on a total of nine national preseason watch lists. Joining Basham and Sciba were Brandon Chapman on the John Mackey Award Watch List, Sam Hartman on the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Watch List and Kenneth Walker III on the Doak Walker Award Watch List.

• Over the course of the last two seasons, he combined to make 34 consecutive field goal attempts, setting a new NCAA record.

• In his career, Sciba owns a .915 field goal percentage (43-of-47), which ranks second in ACC history and is a Wake Forest program record.

BASHAM UP• After being projected to go in the top three rounds

of the 2020 NFL Draft, Carlos “Boogie” Basham Jr. returned to Winston-Salem with the goal of solidifying himself as one of the top players in college football.

• So far this offseason, Basham has been named a preseason All-American by eight publications including most recently a second teamer by AP and USA Today.

• Basham has also been named to the preseason watch list for the Chuck Bednarik Award, Bronko Nagurski Trophy and Lott IMPACT Trophy.

• The Roanoke, Va. native comes into the season with 18 consecutive games with a tackle for loss, the longest streak in the country. He is the only player in the country to have a streak longer than 12 games.

• Last season, he recorded 11.0 sacks, the second-most ever in a season by a Deacon and the most since 1992. Basham played a key role in the Demon Deacons clinching the Big 4 Championship, tallying 5.5 sacks over those three games.

• Basham also has 112 quarterback pressures over the past two seasons, most of any returning D-I player.

• Nationally, Basham has received acclaim as one of the top prospects for the 2021 NFL Draft. This includes being listed as the No. 14 prospect by Todd McShay in his latest player rankings, a top-25 prospect by Pro Football Focus and CBS Sports.

• Basham also was the No. 2 player on Bruce Feldman’s 2020 college football Freaks List. “One of the best-kept secrets in college football, Basham is a dominant player.”

NOTING THE DEACS• Hartman is one of just two sophomores to grace the

2020 Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Watch List.

IMPROVING UNDER HEMPHILL• Defensive Coordinator Lyle Hemphill enters his

second full season calling the defense for the Demon Deacons. From the 2018 to 2019 season, Wake Forest saw a number of improvements in its defensive numbers.

• Last season, the Deacs ranked in the top 20 nationally in third-down defense, fumbles recovered, interceptions and turnovers gained.

• From 2017 to 2019, Wake Forest went from 44th to 12th in the country in turnovers gained.

• From 2017 to 2019, the Demon Deacons have gone from 77th in third-down defense to 16th in the FBS.

• From 2018 to 2019, Wake Forest went from six interceptions to 14, which ranked 17th in the country. The Deacs were one of just six team to have 10 players intercept a pass last season. Seven return for the 2020 campaign.

• The 2019 season also saw an uptick in sack production with the Deacs going from 1.92 sacks per game to 2.38 sacks per game. The defense returns plenty of production in that category including preseason All-American Carlos “Boogie” Basham Jr., who tallied 11.0 sacks in 2019.

DEFENSIVE PRODUCTION RETURNING• The 2020 defensive unit has grown up together

during their time in Winston-Salem. With nine starters returning from a year ago including the entire front seven, the Deacs have plenty of returning production on that side of the ball:

• 79.2 percent of tackles from last season • Seven of the 10 players with an interception in

2019 • 88.5 percent of tackles for loss from last season • 93.5 percent of sacks from the 2019 season

WINNING THE TURNOVER BATTLE• One of the points of emphasis for the Wake Forest

football team is winning the turnover battle. They have been one of the best teams in the country in that category since the start of the 2016 season.

• In three of the last four seasons, the Demon Deacons have finished inside of the top 25 in turnover margin while placing in the top three of ACC in each of those seasons.

• Over the past four season combined Wake Forest has a combined +21 turnover margin. Only 2018 saw the Deacs finish with more turnovers lost than gained:

Season TO Gained TO Lost TO Margin2019 25 17 +82018 16 19 -32017 21 13 +82016 27 19 +8

• Winning the turnover battle has been a key to victory for the Demon Deacons since Dave Clawson arrived on campus ahead of the 2014 season:

Turnover Margin Record WhenEven 9-10+1 or better 23-8+2 or better 12-3+3 or better 6-0

CAPITALIZING ON THIRD DOWNS• Last season, Wake Forest was one of the best teams

in the country on third down, ranking in the top 20 in both third-down offense and third-down defense. The Deacs were one of just seven teams to rank in the top 20 in both categories. They were joined by LSU,

Navy, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Utah and Wisconsin.• The Deacs 47.2 third-down conversion rate led the

ACC and ranked 13th nationally.• Wake Forest’s 31.8 third-down defense ranked 16th

nationally and was second in the ACC.• The 15.4 percent differential was one of the top five

marks in the country.

TACKLING MACHINES• Heading into the season, the Demon Deacons return

nearly 80 percent of their total tackles from the 2019 season.

• In total, Wake Forest returns 18 of its top 21 tacklers from a season ago including the top two in junior linebacker Ryan Smenda and redshirt senior linebacker Ja’Cquez Williams.

• In his first full season in the middle, Smenda had a breakout campaign, leading the team with 81 total tackles while tallying 7.0 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, three pass breakups, an interception and a fumble recovery.

• After senior and current Denver Bronco Justin Strnad was lost in the eighth game of the season due to injury, Williams filled right in alongside Smenda. He ended the year right behind Smenda with 73 total tackles. He rounded out his stat line with 6.5 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.

• Behind them, junior Nasir Greer and sophomore Trey Rucker will look to continue to grow at the safety position. They each totaled 65 total tackles while Greer lead the team and finished second in the ACC with three forced fumbles.

KEEPING THE LAUNDRY OFF THE FIELD• Over the past two seasons, the Demon Deacons have

been one of the least penalized teams in all of college football, ranking in the top 10 in fewest penalties per game in 2018 and 2019.

• Wake Forest has averaged just 4.31 penalties per game over that time, only Navy and Minnesota have fewer penalties per game over the past two seasons in FBS.

• In 2019, the Demon Deacons led the ACC and ranked inside of the top ten in the FBS in fewest penalties, fewest penalties per game, fewest penalty yardage and fewest penalty yards per game.

• The Deacs 35.38 penalty yards per game ranked fifth nationally.

• Additionally, last season Wake Forest had five or fewer penalties in nine game including in all eight wins.

OUR LEADERS. OUR CAPTAINS.• The five team captains for the upcoming season are

redshirt senior defensive lineman Carlos “Boogie” Basham Jr., redshirt senior tight end Brandon Chapman, redshirt sophomore quarterback Sam Hartman, redshirt senior defensive back Luke Masterson and senior defensive back Ja’Sir Taylor.

• From Coach Dave Clawson: “Luke, Boogie, Sam, Brandon, and Ja’Sir are all excellent representatives of Wake Forest Football. They are competitors on the field, exhibit high character in their daily lives and are committed in the classroom. We are proud of them and know that their leadership will be critical as we face the many challenges the 2020 Football Season will present on and off the field.”

• This is the first time each player will represent the team as a captain. Additionally, Hartman became the first sophomore captain since Ryan Janvion during the 2014 season.

When Dave Clawson was named Wake Forest University’s 32nd head football coach on Dec. 10, 2013, he set out to build the top program in North Carolina and compete for championships.

After reaching a program record fourth-straight bowl game and winning the Deacs eighth Big 4 Championship in 2019, Clawson is realizing the vision of what he set out to create. Furthermore, since the start of the 2017 season Wake Forest is tied for the sec-ond-most wins in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Clawson has also engineered an offense that has rewritten the record books at Wake Forest. The Deacs have set over 300 school records including marks for points scored, total offensive yards, first downs and passing yards over the past three seasons.

Clawson co-owns the school record for bowl victories, has climbed to the third-most wins in school history, and has led Wake Forest to a four-year period (2016-19) of success that had been unmatched since the 1940s.

Meanwhile, the long-awaited Sutton Sports Performance Center opened last fall and gave Wake football a state-of-the-art facility that features a world-class strength and conditioning complex to go with 16,000 square feet of space for coaches’ offices, recruiting space and team meeting areas as well as a specialized nutrition center.

Clawson joined the Demon Deacons after five seasons as the head coach at Bowling Green State University where he led the Falcons to the 2013 Mid-American Conference championship with a 47-27 win over No. 16 Northern Illinois.

In his 20 years as a head coach, Clawson has delivered a conference championship at each of his first three stops. Prior to the 2013 MAC title, Clawson helped Richmond to a pair of Colonial Athletic Association titles in 2005 and 2007. His first championship as a head coach came in 2002 when he led Fordham to the Patriot League title.

He has also earned numerous Coach of the Year awards. He was the Patriot League Coach of the Year in 2001 and 2002 and was awarded the 2005 Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year award in just his second year in the league. The 2007 CAA Coach of the Year award marked his fourth conference Coach of the Year honor in his first nine years as a head coach.

In 2002, Clawson was the Schutt Sports/American Football Monthly I-AA Coach of the Year and a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Award. In 2005, Clawson earned National Coach of the Year from I-AA.org and was again a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Award.

BATES III IS ONE-OF-ONE• Since being taken in the second round of the 2018

NFL Draft, defensive back Jessie Bate III has made an immediate impact in the Cincinnati Bengals secondary.

• Bates III is the only player in the NFL to record 100 or more total tackles and three or more interceptions during both the 2018 and 2019 seasons.

• Last season, he led the Bengals with nine pass breakups, finished second on the team in interceptions and solo tackles while his 100 total tackles ranked third for Cincinnati.

• In his first two seasons in the NFL, Bates has tallied 211 tackles. Only one other player on the team has more during that period.

• Bates III six combined interceptions in 2018 and 2019 are tied for the most on the Bengals.

the 2020 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos continued to add Wake Forest players.

• With the nine players joining the league, the #ProDeacs family double in the matter of hours with all nine players being drafted or signed on April 25.

UNDER CENTER • After ending last season on the Los Angeles Rams

practice squad, quarterback John Wolford solidified himself as the clear-cut No. 2 quarterback for the franchise during training camp.

• During training camp, he received rave reviews from both head coach Sean McVay and offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell:

• “He’s prepared, he’s incredibly smart,” O’Connell said. “I’ve been really happy with how he’s progressed fundamentally and he’s throwing the ball really well.”

• “You want Jared to stay healthy, but if John had to play, we feel very good about John,” McVay said.

LOONEY MOVES TO THE MIDDLE• After playing most of his career at guard, Joe Looney is

earned the full-time starting job as the center for the Dallas Cowboys.

• This marks his fifth season with the franchise and his ninth year in the NFL in total. He is the longest tenture #ProDeac, entering his ninth year in the league.

GROVES STADIUM - TRUIST FIELD AT WAKE FOREST

LARGEST HOME CROWDS LARGEST HOME CROWDS CONT.

After playing football in Groves Stadi-um since 1940, Wake Forest renamed its facility BB&T Field from 2007-19 season. Ahead of the 2020 season, it was renamed to Truist Field at Wake Forest. Wake Forest began playing intercolle-giate football in Groves Stadium in 1940 when the school, then located in Wake Forest, N.C., first dedicated a 20,000-seat facility by that same name on its original campus. When Wake opened its current facility in 1968, the school kept the Groves name. The stadium was named in honor of Henry H. Groves, Sr., who passed away in 1985. It was his generous gift that made possible the construction of the original stadium, which would be the site of some of the finest moments in Wake Forest athletic history. The Deacs played their final game in old Wake Forest in 1955 before the school moved to Winston-Salem. After several years of playing at Bowman Gray Stadium, the Deacs moved to Groves Stadium in 1968. In 1957, the original Groves Stadium was sold to Wake Forest High School for the sum of $10 and became the home of high school football and other community events. It was later renamed Trentini Sta-dium, in memory of the late Tony Trentini, a Wake Forest football player and 1956 graduate, who later returned to serve as the high school team’s coach.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – In a see-saw battle that bounced back and forth and featured eight lead changes. Wake Forest scored last and claimed a 38-35 win over Utah State in the season opener for both teams at BB&T Field.

Quarterback Jamie Newman converted a fourth down with a two-yard pass to Kendall Hinton in the right corner of the end zone to provide the winning points for Wake Forest.

Newman notched career highs with 34 completions in 47 attempts for 401 yards. He threw three touchdown passes without an interception. Utah State quarterback Jordan Love, who is being billed as a Heisman Trophy candidate by Utah State, completed 33 of 48 passes for 416 yards and three touchdowns. He was plagued by three interceptions.

The two teams combined to throw for 817 yards and produced 1,192 yards of total offense.

Wake Forest was able to take advantage of all three turnovers that it gained. In the first quarter, Trey Rucker intercepted a pass in the end zone and the Deacons followed with a 77-yard drive resulting in a Nick Sciba field goal and a 10-7 lead.

In the third quarter, Amari Henderson jumped a route and intercepted Love’s pass, giving the Deacons the ball at the Utah State 12. On the first play from scrimmage, Christian Beal-Smith stiff-armed his way into the end zone for a 31-28 lead.

The final turnover came shortly after Hinton’s go-ahead score. Love drove the Aggies to the Wake Forest 31 before Justin Strnad made a leaping interception with 17 seconds left to seal the win.

HOUSTON, Texas – Jamie Newman threw three touchdown passes including two to Scotty Washington as Wake Forest downed Rice 41-21 at Rice Stadium on Sept. 6.

The Demon Deacons started the season 2-0 for the fourth consecutive year by winning their fourth straight road game dating back to 2018.

Wake Forest jumped out to a 7-0 lead on its first possession as Christian Beal-Smith scored from two yards out. Boogie Basham strip sacked quarterback Wiley Green on Rice’s first drive and Rondell Bothroyd recovered. Four plays later, Newman tossed a seven yard scoring pass to Sage Surratt, marking Surratt’s fourth straight game with a touchdown catch.

Rice rallied with a pair of touchdowns late in the first quarter to knot the game at 14.

On the first play of the second quarter, Newman found Scotty Washington in the end zone for a 25-yard scoring pass. After a punt, the Deacons drove to the Rice 8 before Nick Sciba booted a 26-yard field goal to give Wake a 24-14 halftime lead.

Sciba added a 23-yard field goal in the third quarter before Newman again found Washington on a 59-yard catch and run that staked the Deacons to a 34-14 advantage.

Freshman running back Kenneth Walker, III put the game on ice on Wake Forest’s first play of the fourth quarter. After the Deacons stuffed a fourth and goal play from the one for a three-yard loss, Walker took his first handoff of the night and raced 96 yards for the touchdown. The run was the longest in school history, surpassing the previous mark of 90 yards set by Freddie Summers in 1968 and Tony Gallovich in 1940.

Newman ended his night after completing 21 of 27 passes for 312 yards and three touchdowns. Washington led all receivers with seven receptions for a career-high 158 yards. Walker was the game’s leading rusher with 125 yards on nine carries.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Defense was the name of the game as Wake Forest’s defense domi-nated in a 24-18 win over North Carolina at BB&T Field. The game was designated a non-league contest when the two teams agreed to the series in 2015.

Wake Forest (3-0) held North Carolina (2-1) to just 71 yards of total offense in the first half. The Tar Heels failed to cross midfield during the first 41 minutes of the game and converted just two of 16 third-downs.

Wake Forest took a 7-0 lead late in the first quarter when Nasir Greer forced a fumble from UNC running back Javonte Williams and Luke Masterson recovered for the Deacons at the UNC 20. Two plays later, Newman scored on a five-yard quarterback sneak.

The Deacons extended their lead to 14-0 when Newman scored on a six-yard run. The drive opened with a 41-yard completion to Sage Surratt who took the ball to the North Carolina 37.

Surratt had a spectacular first half, setting a school record with 157 receiving yards before the half. His only touchdown catch of the night came on a 51-yard completion at the 12:04 mark of the second quarter and put the Deacons ahead 21-0.

North Carolina rallied in the second half, scoring two touchdowns and a field goal to close the margin to 21-18. Newman then took the Deacons on a 12-play, 61-yard drive that concluded with Nick Sciba hitting a 32-yard field goal with 1:09 to play to put the Deacons up 24-18. North Car-olina’s final rally came up short when the clock expired with the Tar Heels at the Wake Forest 42.

Surratt finished with a career-high 169 yards receiving on nine receptions. Sciba’s fourth quarter field goal was his 15th consecutive successful field goal attempt, breaking the previous school record of 14 straight.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – There were nearly as many records set as points scored when Louis-ville held off a furious fourth quarter rally to beat Wake Forest 62-59 at BB&T Field on Oct. 12.

The two teams combined to score a stadium record 121 points with each team scoring eight touchdowns. The difference wound up with Louisville kicking two field goals to Wake Forest’s one.

Louisville jumped to a quick 14-0 lead in the first quarter before Sage Surratt caught a 12-yard scoring pass from Jamie Newman to cut the deficit to 14-7. The touchdown, the first of three on the night for Surratt, extended his school record streak to eight games with a touchdown catch.

But immediately following Surratt’s score, Louisville’s Hassan Hall returned the kickoff 100 yards to extend the lead for the Cardinals to 21-7. A Malik Cunningham to Tutu Atwell pass put Louisville (4-2, 2-1) on top 28-7 just 10 seconds in to the fourth quarter.

From there, the two teams exchanged points on nearly every possession. Wake Forest was able to close to within 28-21 in the second quarter but a late field goal put the Cardinals up 31-21 at the half.

Louisville’s lead stayed in double digits until Scotty Washington caught a 22-yard scoring pass from Sam Hartman with 4:12 to play in the game. Hartman entered the game following an injury to starter Jamie Newman.

UL extended the lead back to 62-52 when Evan Conley converted a fourth-and-one into a 41-yard scoring rush. The Deacs rebounded with Hartman scoring from the one to again cut the Louisville lead to three points.

The Deacons, however, were not able to recover the onside kick and Louisville ran out the clock.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Nick Sciba kicked five field goals and Sam Hartman threw for 308 yards on Oct. 19 as Wake Forest defeated Florida State 22-20 at BB&T Field. It was the first win for the Demon Deacons (6-1, 2-1 ACC) over the Seminoles (3-4, 2-3 ACC) since the 2011 season. Wake Forest is also bowl eligible which is the second-earliest date in school history in which the Deacons achieved their sixth win of the season.

Hartman stepped in for an injured Jamie Newman and threw for 308 yards and rushed for an additional 43 yards. Running back Cade Carney had 54 yards rushing and a touchdown while wide receiver Sage Surratt had seven catches for 170 yards. Wide receiver Kendall Hinton added seven catches and 93 receiving yards.

Wake Forest reached the red zone on each of its first three possessions and on four of its first five but settled for field goals each time. The Deacons led 9-0 before Florida State’s Cam Akers scored on a two-yard run early in the second quarter. Sciba’s fourth field goal put Wake Forest on top 12-7 but Akers caught a 19-yard pass from James Blackman with 1:08 to play in the half to give the Seminoles a 14-12 halftime lead.

Following a scoreless third quarter, Carney put Wake Forest on top 19-14 when he scored on a three-yard run from the wildcat formation on the second play of the fourth quarter. With 11:08 re-maining, Blackman found Tamorrion Terry with a 26-yard scoring pass for a 20-19 FSU advantage.

Wake Forest took over at its 31 with 8:45 to play in the game following an FSU punt. The Deacons drove 62 yards in 10 plays before Sciba’s 25-yard field goal put the Deacons ahead 22-20 with 4:18 remaining. FSU missed a 50-yard field goal with 2:13 remaining and its final possession ended with a pair of Blackman fumbles. Sciba tied a school-record with five field goals including the fourth quarter game-winning kick.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Wake Forest scored on eight of its first nine drives of the game, forced three turnovers and committed just one penalty en route to a 44-10 win over NC State at BB&T Field on Nov. 2, 2019.

Quarterback Jamie Newman returned to action after missing the Florida State game due to injury. He scored on Wake’s first drive of the game and the Deacons never took their foot off the throttle until the game was decided in the third quarter.

Newman opened the scoring with a 20-yard sprint before hitting tight end Jack Freudenthal with a 5-yard touchdown pass for a 14-0 lead midway through the first quarter. Freudenthal’s score was set up by a forced fumble on the kickoff return that the Deacons recovered at the NC State three, scoring two plays later.

Newman would add a 2-yard rushing touchdown, also in the first quarter, as he joined Oklaho-ma’s Jalen Hurts and Ohio State’s Justin Fields as the only FBS quarterbacks with two rushing touchdowns and a passing touchdown in a single quarter thus far this year.

Nick Sciba booted a 25-yard field goal, the first of three on the day, early in the third quarter for a 240 lead.

NC State got on the board with 9:19 to play in the second as Devin Leary hit Cary Angeline with a 3-yard scoring pass that briefly cut the deficit to 24-7.

Freudenthal would complete his hat trick with a 2-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter and a 4-yard scoring reception in the third.

Sciba extended his streak of consecutive made field goals to 26 with a 34-yarder just before half and a 26-yarder with just under 10 minutes to play in the third.

Amari Henderson became the first Demon Deacon with two interceptions in a game since 2016 as he picked off Leary twice and became the ACC’s interception leader with four on the year.

BLACKSBURG, Va. – No. 19 Wake Forest suffered its second loss of the season, falling at Virginia Tech 36-17 on Nov. 9 at Lane Stadium. The Hokies scored the final 24 points of the game to take control of the contest in the second half. The Demon Deacons fell to 7-2 (3-2) with the loss, while Virginia Tech improved to 6-3 (3-2).

The Demon Deacons were held to a season-low 301 yards of total offense and 17 points. Kendall Hinton led Wake offensively with eight catches for a career-high 162 yards. Sage Surratt caught a pair of touchdown passes from Jamie Newman for Wake Forest’s two touchdowns in the game.

The Hokies took the opening drive and went 19 plays, taking up over nine minutes of the first quarter, but the Deacon defense held them to a 35-yard field goal by Brian Johnson. On the next Hokie drive, a long pass to Terius Wheatley ended with Nasir Greer stripping the ball, which was recovered by Essang Bassey. A 32-yard pass from Newman to Hinton set up a 40-yard field goal by Nick Sciba, who tied the game with his ACC record-tying 27th consecutive made field goal. The game remained tied 3-3 at the end of the first quarter.

Virginia Tech retook the lead midway through the second quarter, 6-3, on a 32-yard field goal from Johnson. A 45-yard reception by Hinton on a 3rd-and-10 play set up an 11-yard touchdown pass from Newman to Surratt, who bounced off defenders and dove into the end zone, to give Wake Forest its first lead of the day at 10-6.

The teams traded the lead in the third quarter. Virginia Tech went up 13-10 early in the third quarter on a 2-yard rushing touchdown by Deshawn McClease. The Deacs answered on the ensuing drive, using a 21-yard pass to Hinton and a pass interference call to set up a 24-yard pass from Newman to Surratt for his second touchdown of the game, giving Wake a 17-13 lead. McClease’s second touchdown of the game, this one from six yards, put the Hokies back in front 20-17. After Newman threw an interception, the Deacon defense limited the Hokie red zone chance to just a field goal, making the lead 23-17 at the end of the third quarter.

Early in the fourth quarter, the Hokies pushed the lead to 29-17 on a 1-yard touchdown run by James Mitchell, but did not convert the 2-point conversion. The Hokies took advantage of a turnover deep in Deacon territory for a 7-yard touchdown run by Hooker to make the final margin 36-17.

CLEMSON, S.C. – No. 3 Clemson continued to move towards the College Football Playoffs with a 52-3 win over Wake Forest at Memorial Stadium on Nov. 16.

The Tigers scored on each of their first two possessions before the Demon Deacon defense stiffened and forced a turnover on downs and a three-and-out.

Nick Sciba connected on his 28th consecutive field goal attempt and the Deacons were down 14-3 early in the second quarter.

Wake Forest held Clemson to a field goal and a punt and were on the verge of narrowing the margin before the Tigers exploded for two scores in the final minute of the half.

Starting at their own 25 with 2:14 to play in the half, Clemson used a 23-yard pass from Trevor Lawrence to Diondre Overton and a 25-yard run by Travis Etienne to move to the ball to the Wake Forest 14. From there, Lawrence found Tee Higgins in the end zone for a 24-3 lead.

After Wake Forest quarteback Jamie Newman completed a pair of passes to freshman Donavon Greene, Newman’s next attempt was picked off by A.J. Terrll at the 30.

On the first play, Lawrence again found Higgins in the end zone for a touchdown and a 31-3 halftime advantage.

Wake Forest was held to 105 yards of total offense and five first downs in the game.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.– Wake Forest earned its eighth win of the season on Nov. 23 with a come-from-behind 39-27 win over Duke at BB&T Field.

The win came on a day when Wake Forest recognized its transformative senior class, the 100th game in the series with Duke and the 300th game played at BB&T Field.

Special teams play accounted for a majority of the scoring on a cold and rainy night. Wake For-est’s Nick Sciba kicked four field goals and in the process took possession of the NCAA record for consecutive field goals made by moving his streak to 32 straight.

Sciba’s 38-yarder in the first quarter staked the Deacons to a 3-0 lead but it was short-lived as Duke’s Damond Philyaw-Johnson returned the ensuing kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown. The Blue Devils took a 10-3 lead in the second quarter behind an A.J. Reed 30-yard field goal.

Wake Forest tied the game on Jamie Newman’s 42-yard run and went ahead just before half on Sciba’s 34-yard kick, his 30th straight successful attempt which tied the NCAA mark of 30.

Newman found Kendall Hinton on a 62-yard bomb to open the third quarter and put Wake Forest ahead 20-10. Reed and Sciba exchanged thid quarter field goals and the Deacons went to the fourth quarter with a 23-13 lead.

Duke tight end Noah Gray caught a 23-yard scoring pass from Quentin Harris to pull the Blue Devils within three at 23-20. Sciba’s 31st consecutive field goal, from 25 yards, extended Wake’s lead to 26-20.

Philyaw-Johnson then returned the kickoff 98 yards to put Duke ahead 27-26 with 9:34 to play in the game. Newman drove the Deacons down field in just three plays including a 57-yard slant to Hinton before Kenneth Walker III put Wake ahead 32-27 with a 14-yard run. Cade Carney iced the game with an 18-yard score with 3:27 to play in the game.
