Wake Forest outlasts Clemson

touchdown pass to D.J. Boldin with 5:28 left to help No. 21 Wake
Forest beat Clemson 12-7 on Thursday night. Skinner was 22-of-34 for 186 yards and led the decisive 15-play, 78-yard drive in the fourth quarter for the Demon Deacons (4-1, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference).
