DURHAM, N.C. -- Wake Forest has scored a few touchdowns and earned a couple of Atlantic Coast Conference victories under coach Dave Clawson.They just never happened in the same game -- until now.Wake Forest upset Duke 24-14 on Saturday behind three touchdowns from freshman Cade Carney and a big game from hometown favorite Kendall Hinton.Carney rushed for 108 yards while becoming the programs first freshman with a three-TD game since Chris Barclay against Purdue in 2002. He scored on runs of 7, 1 and 55 yards -- the last of which broke a 14-all tie with about 4 minutes left in the third quarter.It added up to a big step forward for the Demon Deacons, even if Clawson wasnt ready yet to pronounce it so.Were 2-0, and now weve got to work hard. The reward for winning a game like this is, the next game becomes more important, Clawson said. Whether this is a turning point in our program, you cant say that now.Wake Forest entered with just seven wins under Clawson. Two of those came against FCS schools and three others were in less-than-inspiring fashion: A 6-3, double-overtime win against Virginia Tech in 2014, a 3-0 win at Boston College last year and last weeks 7-3 victory over Tulane.In this complete effort, the Demon Deacons erased one particularly pesky footnote: They had failed to score a touchdown in either of their prior ACC wins under Clawson.They can thank Carney and Hinton, who threw for 133 yards and rushed for 63 more. Mike Weaver made it a 10-point game by kicking a 34-yard field goal with 3:50 to play.The Demon Deacons (2-0, 1-0) entered just 4-20 in league games during the last three years. They outrushed Duke 239-37, and -- after managing just 175 total yards against Tulane -- more than doubled that in this one by rolling up 389 total yards.When a team invests as much as our guys have invested, theyre not going to fall apart after one drive or one game, Clawson said.Redshirt freshman quarterback Daniel Jones had a pair of 1-yard scoring runs on zone-read keepers for the Blue Devils (1-1, 0-1), who were 6 1/2-point favorites. But he was intercepted by Brad Watson deep in Wake Forest territory with 1:54 left, and that all but sealed it.You never know what play in the game is going to make a huge difference, Duke coach David Cutcliffe said. This time, we werent consistent enough.THE TAKEAWAYWake Forest: The Demon Deacons not only earned their first win over Duke since 2011, they might have found their quarterback in Hinton -- though Clawson wasnt ready to anoint him as his starter.Hinton had split time with John Wolford since the start of last season and came off the bench in this one, but wound up taking every significant snap in the final 2 1/2 quarters and led all four scoring drives. Hinton was 6 of 11 passing and averaged 5.7 yards on his 11 carries.For me to get up here after a game and make a pronouncement isnt fair to any parties involved, Clawson said.Duke: An offense that was so efficient in the first half against an FCS opponent last week still isnt anything close to a finished product. This could have been a Duke blowout, but in the first half Duke lost a fumble on a deflected backwards pass near midfield, netted no yards after forcing a fumble at the Wake Forest 35 and missed field goals of 30 and 43 yards. The Blue Devils also fumbled away their opening series of the third quarter, turned it over three times -- giving them eight on the season -- and never led in the second half.Our inability to run it early was obvious, Cutcliffe said. Some of our best players are in the backfield. Weve got to put them to work.BAROMETER GAME?Maybe Wake Forest can start checking out hotel rates and flights for the holidays because in eight of the last 10 years, the winner of the Wake Forest-Duke game has gone to a bowl while the loser stayed home. The exceptions: the 2009 and 10 Demon Deacons, who beat the Blue Devils but finished with losing records.UP NEXTWake Forest: The Demon Deacons will look for their first 3-0 start since 2008 when they play host to Delaware of the FCS.Duke heads to Northwestern for the first of two straight out-of-conference trips to the Midwest, with a visit to Notre Dame the following week.---Follow Joedy McCreary at http://twitter.com/joedyap.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- North Carolinas defense hasnt had a particularly strong start.Heading into Saturdays home opener against James Madison, the Tar Heels gave up big rushing numbers in a season-opening loss to Georgia and got off to a bad start before settling down in last weekends win at Illinois. Now the Tar Heels are playing a team ranked No. 8 in the Championship Subdivision that has scored 136 points in its first two games.In two games, I dont know that I can say I know exactly what our defense is or what our offense is, or what our special teams are yet, coach Larry Fedora said. I dont know if in two games youve been through enough to be able to create that identity that you have. Another couple of games I think well know who this team is.The problem for the Tar Heels (1-1) is familiar: run defense. After surrendering nearly 1,000 yards on the ground in their last two games of 2015, UNC gave up 289 yards rushing to the Nick Chubb-led Bulldogs.Then the Tar Heels allowed a 65-yard touchdown run on the third snap against the Illini, though they tightened up and allowed 117 yards rushing the rest of the night in the 48-23 win.The Dukes (2-0) have rushed for 810 yards in two games.They probably watched our film and thought, `Oh these guys may not be that good in the run defense, they gave up all those yards to Nick Chubb, all that type of stuff, UNC linebacker Andre Smith said. So theyre going to come in really hyped, playing against Carolina, and so I just cant wait for the opportunity to play against those guys.The Dukes are seeking to beat an Atlantic Coast Conference team for the third time, the last coming against Virginia Tech in 2010.You see some of these games that get way out of whack with the score -- most of the time that happens because you go in there and do things you normally dont do in a ballgame, new JMU coach Mike Houston said. If we can go in there and be us I think thats going to be our best chance for success.---Some other things to know about Saturdays James Madison-North Carollina game:DEFENSIVE HELP: UNC junior defensive end Tyler Powell hasnt played due to personal issues.dddddddddddd He returned to practice this week. Its unclear what role hell play, but it certainly will help a front still shorthanded with junior Dajuan Drennon yet to play due to an undisclosed injury.FAMILIAR FACES: The Dukes will have some familiarity with the Tar Heels. Former South Carolina quarterback Connor Mitch and former Duke receiver Terrence Alls have transferred in after playing UNC last year. Offensive coordinator Donnie Kirkpatrick also coached against UNC when he was an assistant at East Carolina.LOGANS RUN: Senior tailback T.J. Logan has been the Tar Heels most impressive player so far. He ran for 80 yards and a touchdown to go with a 95-yard kick return for a touchdown against Georgia, then followed with a 58-yard return and a TD catch against Illinois. Logan is fifth nationally in all-purpose yardage (207 per game).LINEBACKER PLAY: North Carolinas linebackers are still learning on the job. New starters Andre Smith and Cole Holcomb have had good moments, but there have been some shaky ones, too -- including when Smiths defensive call to the line conflicted with another that came in on Illinois long TD run. Its a young linebacking group, second-year coordinator Gene Chizik said. So those guys are going to have to continue to grow within the defense, and I think they are.OFFENSIVE LINES: James Madisons projected starting offensive line checks in at an average of 6 feet, 3 inches and 296 pounds, so the Dukes have some size. As for UNC, the Tar Heels wont have opening-game starter Tommy Hatton at right guard. He hasnt practiced or played since the Georgia game due to personal issues. Fedora had hoped he would return this week.---Follow Aaron Beard on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/aaronbeardap and the APs college football site at http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
