Wake Forest Edges SMU in Low-Scoring ACC Defensive Struggle

Wake Forest survived a defensive battle to defeat SMU 13-12 in Week 9. The Demon Deacons' defense stifled the Mustangs throughout the contest, forcing multiple critical turnovers in the fourth quarter that sealed the victory.

Wake Forest's offense was led by quarterback Robby Ashford's 33 passing yards and running back Demond Claiborne's 73 rushing yards. SMU's receiving corps, paced by Ashaad Clayton's 9 receptions, couldn't generate enough offensive momentum despite quarterback K.Jennings' efforts.

The game was decided by turnovers and field position. Wake Forest scored 3 points in the first quarter before adding 7 in the second. SMU matched that early output but couldn't sustain offensive drives. The Deacons added 3 more fourth-quarter points to secure the win.

The fourth quarter proved decisive, with two catastrophic fumbles by Wake Forest's offense—one by D. Claiborne and another by D. Purdie—recovered by SMU, though the Mustangs couldn't capitalize. Wake Forest covered the 5.5-point spread, and the game finished well under the 53-point over-under at 25 total points.
