which had lost three of its previous four contests. It was the second time
this season Campanaro found the end zone three times in a game. Tanner Price

yards and touchdown, but he also threw three interceptions and lost a fumble.

yards and touchdown. The Eagles have now lost six of their last seven games.
The Deacons opened up the scoring midway through the first quarter on a five-
yard touchdown pass from Price to Campanaro. Price and Campanaro struck again
later in the first quarter from 27 yards out as Wake Forest got out to a 14-0
lead.
The Eagles scored their first touchdown of the game midway through the second
quarter when Rettig hooked up with Amidon on a 16-yard scoring strike to cut
their deficit in half.
Wake Forest countered with less than two minutes remaining in the second half
following another Price-to-Campanaro scoring connection, this time from 16
yards out, and it took a 21-7 lead into halftime.
The Eagles pulled off a trick play midway through the third quarter to make it
21-14 when wide receiver Bobby Swigert completed a 12-yard touchdown pass to

The Deacons brought their lead back to two scores later in the quarter on a
23-yard touchdown rush from Harris. Neither team would score in the fourth
quarter as Wake Forest held on for the win.
