But Wake Forest's Tyler Ashe kicked a 33-yard field goal with one second remaining in the half and the Demon Deacons (2-0) took control with 14 unanswered points in the third quarter. Wake Forest grabbed a 13-10 lead on Anthony Young's 23-yard TD pass to Fabian Davis with 6:03 remaining and added insurance on John Stone's eight-yard TD run with 1:26 to go in the period. James MacPherson completed 7-of-13 for 95 yards for Wake Forest, while Young was 5-of-6 for 79 yards. Jimmy Watkins paced Appalachian State on the ground with 77 yards on 16 carries, while Joe Burchette completed 15-of-25 for 125 yards with two interceptions.
