ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Wake Forest received a strong performance from quarterback John Wolford to beat Temple 34-26 on Tuesday in the Military Bowl.
After throwing an interception on the first series of the game — a turnover Temple used to take a 7-0 lead — Wolford helped the Demon Deacons rattle off 31 straight points before halftime.
Wolford left with a neck strain in the third quarter with the score 31-17. Wake Forest (7-6) then withstood a comeback bid by Temple (10-4) to secure its first winning season since 2008.
The Demon Deacons snapped a three-game losing streak and won for only the second time since Oct.
