As has been the story of the Wake Forest football program in recent years, the Wake Forest Demon Deacons fell just short against in-state rival Duke 27-21 on Saturday at BB&T Field.
“I think today was almost our season in a nutshell,” said head coach Dave Clawson. “I think from the opening whistle at Elon to the final whistle in the Duke game, our kids played extremely hard and with great effort and never quit and had incredible physical effort and resiliency all year.”
Wake Forest outgained the Blue Devils in total offense, 450-431, and entered the second quarter locked 7-7 with Duke in what appeared to be an even matchup.
