UConn football fell narrowly to the Wake Forest Demon Deacons Saturday afternoon 23-20 after a near game-winning drive late in the fourth quarter came up just short. Early drives were not kind to the Huskies’ offense.

Demond Claiborne had a pair of touchdowns, the Wake Forest defense made a late defensive stand and the Demon Deacons edged UConn 23-20 on Saturday. Claiborne’s 1-yard scoring run on the opening drive of the second half gave the Demon Deacons a 14-point lead at 20-6.

UConn football's late rally comes up short as Wake Forest ended the Huskies' three-game win streak with a victory at Rentschler Field.
