  Wake Forest receiver Sage Surratt will miss the rest of the season with an unspecified injury that will require surgery. Coach Dave Clawson disclosed the severity of Surratt's injury Tuesday but did not provide any further details. The redshirt sophomore appeared to injure his shoulder in the second half of the Demon Deacons' loss at Virginia Tech last week. Surratt ranks fifth nationally and first among players from power conferences with 1,001 yards receiving, and is tied for fifth in the FBS with 11 touchdown catches. He was a key component of a Wake Forest offense that ranks 11th nationally and second in the Atlantic Coast Conference with an average of 314.1 yards passing. Wake Forest (7-2, 3-2) visits No. 3 Clemson (10-0, 7-0) on Saturday. - AP College Football

  The pylon was in sight for Wake Forest's Jamie Newman as he cut through the defense on the way for a score in his return from a shoulder injury. That's when the quarterback extended his arms to each side, ball in his left hand, as he crossed the goal line in a fleeting celebration that marked the start of the 23rd-ranked Demon Deacons' 44-10 victory over North Carolina State on Saturday. "If Jamie could go, he was going to go," Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson said. "And Jamie could go. So he went." Newman threw for three touchdowns and ran for two scores, showing no signs of trouble from the injury that had sidelined him for one game and part of another. His status was uncertain -- at least according to Clawson's public comments -- ahead of the long-running instate series, though his performance was anything but.

Newman threw for 287 yards and ran for 30 more before checking out late in the third quarter. Clawson said he encouraged the 6-foot-4, 230-pound redshirt junior with a physical running style to slide or step out of bounds to avoid taking extra hits in his return. Not that Newman sounded worried. "I felt great, felt great all week," Newman said, "and I still feel great now." That helps explain why Newman and the Demon Deacons (7-1, 3-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) had this one wrapped up early. By the end, the school said, the 34-point margin was its largest ever against an ACC opponent at its BB&T Field home since September 1968. - Wake Forest/AP College Football

  Wake Forest leading tackler Justin Strnad is out for the season with a ruptured bicep tendon. The team says he had surgery Tuesday, three days after he was hurt in a 22-20 victory over Florida State. The senior linebacker had made 20 consecutive starts for the No. 25 Demon Deacons (6-1, 2-1). He has a team-best 69 tackles and his average of 9.7 ranks seventh in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Coach Dave Clawson calls Strnad "one of those players who left it all on the field for Wake Forest the last five years." The Demon Deacons returned to the AP Top 25 after a one-week absence. They are idle this week and host North Carolina State on Nov. 2. - AP College Football

  Whether a close game or a blowout, Wake Forest always seemed to find a way lately to lose to Florida State. This time, the Atlantic Coast Conference's highest-scoring offense found a way to beat the Seminoles -- by kicking a bunch of field goals. Nick Sciba kicked a 25-yard field goal -- his school-record-tying fifth of the game -- with 4:18 remaining, and Wake Forest beat Florida State 22-20 on Saturday night. "It stinks that our offense wasn't able to get in the end zone, but I'm glad that I was able to do my part and do my job in order to help us get a great team win, which I think was a big, pivotal win for us," Sciba said. Cade Carney had a 3-yard touchdown run on the second play of the fourth quarter, Sam Hartman was 21 of 38 for 308 yards in his first start of the season and Sage Surratt had seven catches for 170 yards -- his fourth game of the season with at least 150.

The Demon Deacons (6-1, 2-1), who average an ACC-best 39.7 points and 540.5 total yards, were held to a season-low point total. Yet they won a game with three lead changes in the fourth, snapped a seven-game losing streak in the series and bounced back from their record-setting 62-59 loss to Louisville. Wake Forest lost its previous two home games against Florida State by a combined 15 points, and lost by 21 in Tallahassee last year. This was just its second victory over the Seminoles since 2008 and first since 2011. "We've had some good wins here over the last 3-4 years, but I thought that was as gritty of a win as we've had," coach Dave Clawson said. "Just kind of refusing to give up and finding a way." - Wake Forest/AP College Football

  Chase Cord threw for 175 yards and three touchdowns in relief of injured starter Hank Bachmeier and No. 14 Boise State beat Hawaii 59-37 on Saturday night. The Broncos (6-0, 3-0 Mountain West) remained perfect at home against the Rainbow Warriors in seven meetings, despite losing Bachmeier early in the second quarter when he was scrambling for a first down and spun to elude oncoming linebacker Kana'i Picanco. Bachmeier absorbed a hit in his lower back and promptly fumbled. He walked gingerly off the field with the aid of staff trainers before going to the locker room. In the second half, he returned to the sidelines in street clothes.

The nature and extent of Bachmeier's injury was not disclosed by the school. Hawaii (4-2, 1-1), which entered the game with the Mountain West's top passing offense and fourth nationally, fell behind early and never seemed to have an answer defensively for any of the three quarterbacks Boise State played. With Bachmeier out, Cord ensured that the Broncos' passing offense that ranks second in the conference didn't miss a beat, throwing TD strikes of 33, 42, and 8 yards. Jaylon Henderson also played significant time at quarterback as the Broncos' trio of signal callers combined for 315 yards passing. - Boise State/AP College Football
