  Darian Mensah reached a record-setting passing touchdown total for Duke as the Blue Devils stayed alive for a chance at an Atlantic Coast Conference championship by defeating Wake Forest 49-32 on Saturday. Duke (7-5, 6-2 ACC) can reach next week's ACC title game if a couple of results in the conference fall its way later Saturday night. Mensah also ran for his first TD of the season. The transfer from Tulane finished the game 24-for-35 passing for 268 yards in the air. Anderson Castle and Nate Sheppard each had two touchdown runs and the Blue Devils never trailed in defeating Wake Forest (8-4, 4-4) for the fourth year in a row. Sahmir Hagans caught a touchdown pass and made an 80-yard kickoff return to set up the first points of the fourth quarter. Robby Ashford threw for two touchdowns and 342 yards and ran for a touchdown and a two-point conversion, but Wake Forest's three-game winning streak ended. The Demon Deacons committed four turnovers - including a fumble at the Duke 18-yard line with 6:38 left and were hit with 97 yards worth of penalties. Duke, which used a fake field goal to set up the winning touchdown a week earlier at North Carolina, pulled off a successful fake punt with less than 10 minutes to go with punter Kade Reynoldson running for a first down. The Blue Devils didn't score on the drive but chewed up an extra 2½ minutes while holding a 42-32 lead. Mensah's third-quarter touchdown pass to Hagans for 30 yards set the Duke single-season record with 27 before he added another in the game's final minute. - Duke/AP College Football
