DURHAM, N.C. -- Wake Forest's roster was decimated by injuries before the 2018 season began, and things only got worse as the games came and went. So it was easy to understand the jubilant cheers of "We goin' bowling!" that echoed from their locker room after they knocked off another in-state opponent on the road to earn bowl eligibility.
Cade Carney rushed for a career-high 223 yards, the Demon Deacon defense forced four turnovers, and Wake Forest dominated Duke 59-7 on Saturday. In the process, the team secured bowl eligibility for the third time in coach Dave Clawson's five seasons at the school.
