WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- The lead was about to slip away from Wake Forest when Demetrius Kemp took the ball away from No. 25 North Carolina State.
Kemp forced a fumble inches from the goal line in the final minutes and recovered it to preserve the Demon Deacons' 30-24 victory over N.C. State on Saturday night.
"That was just a pure hustle play," Kemp said. "I saw the quarterback throw the ball and just burst to the ball. That's what we preach every day in practice -- just burst to the ball and just hustling."
John Wolford threw three touchdowns to Tabari Hines, including the go-ahead score from 18 yards out with 8:03 left.
