three interceptions.
Duke’s defense ap
peared nonexistent most
of the game, especially in
the second quarter when
Wake Forest covered 81
and 83 yards on consecu
tive drives for touch
downs. That was part
of a stretch where the
Deacons scored touch
downs on four consecu
tive possessions over a
nine-minute stretch.
“Defensively, we sim
ply need to tackle bet
ter to begin with,” Duke
coach David Cutcliffe
said. “Just look at the
numbers. Guys are
throwing at us, but most
of those yards are run
yards. A lot of it wasn’t
tackling very well.”
Using quarterbacks
Ted Stachitas and fresh
man Tanner Price, the
Deacons threw for 271
yards.
Chris Givens, whose
two-game suspension
for a violation of an un
disclosed team rule was
reduced to one, made his
debut and caught four
passes for 159 yards. He
also scooped up the ball
after Duke punter Kevin
Jones failed to catch a
snap and returned it 18
yards for a touchdown.
But the Demon Dea
cons also ran the ball
with ease whenever they
chose to go that route,
gaining 229 rushing
yards on 53 attempts.
Wake Forest took the
opening kickoff and
drove 82 yards on nine
running plays for a
touchdown. After the
game was tied 35-all at
halftime. Wake took
advantage of a lull by
Duke’s offense to build
a lead it wouldn’t relin
quish.
Duke’s first four pos
sessions of the second
half resulted in punts.
Wake’s Devon Brown
returned one of those
43 yards to the Duke 38.
On the next play. Price
tossed a 38-yard touch
down pass to Williams
for a 42-35 Wake lead,
and the Deacons never
trailed again.
Didte drove for field
goals on its next two pos
sessions. But in between.
Wake used a run-cen
tered drive of 73 yards,
ending with a Price’s
23-yard touchdown pass
to Danny Dembry in the
fourth quarter, to keep
Duke at bay.
Reading 48-41, Wake
used five minutes, 52
seconds of fourth-quar
ter game clock to drive
79 yards on 13 plays. Ten
of them were running
plays, including Brown’s
6-yard touchdown that
gave Wake a 54-41 lead
with 2:53 left.
Duke added a late
score on Renfree’s 51-
yard touchdown pass
to Vernon at 1:39. But
the onside kick went to
Wake, and the shootout
was done.
“It’s a little disappoint
ing,” Duke linebacker
Abraham Kromah said.
“The offense did play
weU and I commend
them. As a team, we have
to puU these wins out.”
HAMLIN

Kevin Harvick, who
was ninth Saturday
night, wlU be seeded
third.
Rounding out the top
10 finishers Saturday

Busch, Kurt Busch, Tony
Stewart, Greg Biffle, Jeff
Gordon, Carl Edwards,

This was the 26th race
of the 2010 season and
most drivers were fo
cused on winning be
cause 10 of the top 12

Edwards drove away to
a good lead while Mon
toya, Allmendinger and
Bowyer raced hard for
the second spot. Actually,
Bowyer, who started the
race 12th, needed only a
28th-place finish to clinch
the 12th and final posi
tion in the Chase. Biffle,
who was 11th in the
standings starting the
race, needed only a 42th-
place finish to clinch a
spot. Biffle was cruising
around mid-pack in the
early going.
After 25 of 400 laps,
Edwards held a half-sec
ond lead over Montoya
and Allmendinger with
Bowyer and Johnson
just behind. David Reuti-
mann was next, followed
by Logano, Brad Kesel-
owski, Paul Menard and
Stewart.
Reutimann brought
out the first caution after
a tap from Kurt Busch
on the 57th lap turned
him around. Reutimann
remained on the lead
lap and did no apparent
damage to his Toyota.
Jason Leffler had to
park his Toyota about
this time and his with
drawal from' the race
clinched a spot in the
Chase for Biffle.
On the restart at Lap
63, Edwards was out
front with Johnson right
behind him. Bowyer was
next, followed by Stew
art, Allmendinger, Mon
toya, Kenseth, Kesel-
owski, Menard and Kurt
Busch.
Bowyer took the lead
shortly before the 100-lap
mark with Edwards and
Johnson in tow. Hamlin
had worked his way to
fourth place. Allmend
inger was fifth.
Hamlin took the lead
a few laps later and the
top 10 included Bowyer,
Johnson, Allmendinger,
Kenseth, Montoya, Stew
art, Edwards, Burton
and Kyle Busch.
Terry Labonte brought
out the second caution
of the night on Lap 145
when a cut tire sent him
into the waU.
Hamlin had the lead
on the restart at'Lap 152
but Johnson took'over a
couple laps later. Ham
lin, Johnson and Bowyer
swapped the lead like
trading cards before a
caution came out on Lap
226 for raindrops.
When the race restart
ed on lap 241, Hamlin
was back out front.
