Wake Forest is on the verge of its first “state championship” since 2009.
If the Demon Deacons (7-4) can close out Duke on Saturday, they’ll have in-state bragging rights. They already have wins over N.C. State, 30-24 on Saturday night, and Appalachian State, 20-19 on Sept. 23.
Fourth-year coach Dave Clawson has his team playing its best football at the right time of the year. Given the injuries to breakout star receiver Greg Dortch or defensive end Duke Ejiofor, out the past few weeks, and the strength of Wake’s schedule, Clawson has done great work this season.
