Game of 21

FINAL: Duke 27, Wake Forest 21: Duke (7-5, 4-4 ACC) snapped a four-game losing streak Saturday with a 27-21 win at Wake Forest. They now wait to see which bowl game they will go to and who their opponent will be.

Duke quarterback Thomas Sirk had a stand-out game Saturday going 26-for-39 for 275 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 57 yards and another score.

1:46 4th: Duke 27, Wake 21: After a 35-yard Ross Martin field goal put Duke up 27-14, Wake went 75 yards in just 47 seconds and it's suddenly a 1-score game. The onside kick was recovered by Duke, however, and the Blue Devils will hang on.

11:20 4th: Duke 24, Wake 14: John Wolford connected with Cam Serigne for the second time today and Wake Forest is back in business down just two scores with 11 and change to play.

Wake has 343 yards on the afternoon, but has been a victim of their own mistakes. Their two turnovers stand out.

End of 3: Duke 24, Wake 7: We go to the final frame with Duke leading 24-7 and looking for more as they face a 3rd and 8 at the Wake Forest 40.

4:39 3rd: Duke 24, Wake 7: The teams have traded punts and now with less than 20 minutes of game time, the Demon Deacons need to get moving if they fancy a comeback. Down three scores, this Wake drive will start at their own 10.

10:39 3rd: Duke 24, Wake 7: The missed Wake field goal turns out to be a 10-point swing as the Blue Devils moved 80 yards in 6 plays, capped by a 28-yard TD catch by Max McCaffrey.

The McCaffrey catch was a thing of beauty as he was mis dive/slide and being closed in on by a Wake defender. The play was reviewed to see if his knee touched down at the one, but after some deliberation, the call stood.

It was McCaffrey's second TD of the day. Sirk is now 20-for-28 for 229 yards and 2 TDs.

12:52 3rd: Duke 17, Wake 7: Wake Forest marched down the field with relative ease to open the half, then the drive came to a rather abrupt halt once they reached the red zone. They were stopped on 3rd down and Weaver came on to attempt a 28-yard field goal. It never had a chance as it sailed wide left.

HALF: Duke 17, Wake 7: Ross Martin was true on a 51-yard field goal as time expired in the half and the Blue Devils will take a 10-point lead to the locker room.

The field goal was a Duke record 22nd on the season for Martin as he is 3-for-3 from over 50.

At half, Duke leads in total yards 234-138. Thomas Sirk is 16-for-24 passing for 175 yards and a touchdown. The Blue Devils are also 5-for-9 on 3rd down and turned the game's only turnover - a Wake fumble - into seven points.

5:15 2nd: Duke 14, Wake 7: Since the Duke TD to go up 14-7, the Deacs have punted twice and the Devils have punted once. The Blue Devils will take over at their own 16 looking for points before half.

9:48 2nd: Duke 14, Wake 7: Thomas Sirk found the endzone on a 3-yard option-keeper to cap off a long, 13-play, 75-yard drive that lasted more than five minutes.

Duke picked up 6 first downs on the drive, converting one 3rd down. Sirk was a perfect 5-for-5 passing.

:06 1st: Duke 7, Wake 7: Wake Forest displayed quick-strike ability to tie the game as a 49-yard pass play from John Wolford to Cam Serigne set up a 1-yard Tyler Bell touchdown,
