Wayne Gallman ran for 106 yards and a touchdown and added 43
yards and a score receiving for Clemson (7-2, 6-1 ACC), which has
won six straight. Artavis Scott racked up 122 receiving yards and
two scores and the defense took over down the stretch for the
Tigers.
John Wolford struggled to 11-of-29 for 88 yards and two touchdowns
as Wake Forest (2-7, 0-5) dropped its fifth consecutive game. Cam
Serigne hauled in both scores but the Demon Deacons were held to 119
total yards.
Wake Forest knotted it at 20 on a 31-yard field goal with 11:08
left, but Clemson needed only one play to retake the lead as Stoudt
flipped a short pass to Scott and watched him break to the right and
race up the sideline for a 68-yard TD. Gallman broke up the middle
for a 30-yard score on the Tigers’ next drive and the Demon Deacons
failed to record a first down on any of their final three
possessions.
A sloppy first half led to a 17-17 deadlock at the break as Wake
Forest scored following an interception in the first quarter and
took advantage of a muffed punt to set up Wolford’s second TD pass
to Serigne in the second. The Demon Deacons were stopped on fourth
down in their own territory before Stoudt found Gallman for an
18-yard score, and Stoudt’s 4-yard TD to Scott gave Clemson a 17-14
cushion with 27 seconds left before a pass interference and a
personal foul set Wake Forest up for a tying field goal on an
untimed down.
