Wake Tops Duke on the Road 24-14
Jeremy Brevard-USA TODAY SportsIt started ugly for the Deacs, but Kendall Hinton at quarterback, stout defense, and an unbelievable 3 TD performance for freshman RB Cade Carney helped the Deacs right the ship and get to 2-0.
Fresh off the first win of the season, and a short drive down I-40, Wake topped rival Duke to go to 2-0 on the season, 24-14.
Wake started with the ball and John Wolford took the field first for the Deacs. The first play of the game was the familiar read option keeper for a two yard loss. Then despite positive yardage on second down, the Deacs were unable to convert on a long pass to Cortez Lewis and quickly went three and out.
