Wake Forest Defeats Duke 24-14: Coach Clawson Delivers in Biggest Game of Wake Tenure

Wake Forest had the Duke game circled from the moment the ACC released the conference schedule. It’s a game against a designated rival, and it’s very much a measuring stick game for both programs. Duke has made four consecutive bowl appearances, and has been one of the darlings of the conference. Wake Forest, on the other hand, hasn’t made a bowl game since 2011. Wake Forest head coach Dave Clawson has gone just 3-9 during each of his first two seasons at Wake Forest, but he and the Wake Forest football team had an opportunity in year three to show that the Wake Forest program was headed in the right direction.
