Wake-Duke notes

** The point total of 36 was the highest Wake has allowed in victory since a 42-38 decision over Auburn in 1979.
** Wake Forest has now scored 41 or more points in each of its past four trips to Duke, all of which it has won. The Deacs are averaging 40.8 a game in Wallace Wade Stadium over the past six visits.
** For the first time since 1979 and 1980, the Deacons have produced a three-game winning streak in consecutive seasons.
** Wake has won six of its past seven ACC games away from home. That string includes the 2006 conference championship game in Jacksonville, Fla. The lone loss was at Boston College to start this season.
** Alphonso Smith's interception return for a touchdown was his third this season and the fourth of his career. Both stand one short of NCAA records. Smith now has a school record for INT return yardage (201), having surpassed the 176 yards by Ronnie Burgess, who played from 1981-84.
** The Demon Deacons have scored six non-offensive touchdowns this season.
** Four of those are by interception return. That's believed to be an ACC record.
