What happened

ESPN RECAP

Hartman, Ellison help No. 13 Wake Forest top No. 21 NC State

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- , The off-target throws, drops and mistakes kept coming for No. 13 Wake Forest. So did the injuries , all on a night when the Demon Deacons were trying to take a huge step toward winning their Atlantic Coast Conference division. All that trouble merely ended up as the perfect setup for another memorable moment in a special season. Sam Hartman accounted for four touchdowns while Justice Ellison ran for a short score with 1:47 left to help Wake Forest beat No. 21 North Carolina State 45-42 on Saturday night, moving within a victory of wrapping up the league's Atlantic Division race. “It's fun to play in games like this," Clawson said. "It's even more fun to win them.” The next step for the Demon Deacons (9-1, 6-0 ACC) is to finish off the division race and supplant Clemson, which had won the Atlantic on the way to winning the past six league championships.
