Wake Forest making 'incremental steps' in improving run game

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) Wake Forest's rushing attack could only get better after a miserable first year under Dave Clawson.

The Demon Deacons have at least shown modest improvement in Year 2, including when it comes to play along an offensive line with a pair of young tackles. Still, they're a long way from where Clawson wants them to be heading into Saturday's game against North Carolina State, a team that's had a couple of shaky moments stopping the run in the past two games.

Clawson referred to the gains as ''incremental steps.''

''Last year a 2-yard run was cause for celebration,'' Clawson said Tuesday.
