The offense, we did our job, we started fast.The Wolfpack finished with 527 yards against a defense ranked 12th nationally against the run and 20th in scoring defense (16.5).We talked about it all week: Wakes a team that wants to play a four-quarter game, Doeren said. We didnt feel like they were built offensively to catch up. We felt like they were built to control the ball, keep their defense off the field and grind you out.The biggest flaw? Thirteen penalties for 144 yards, both season highs.John Wolford threw for 263 yards and a touchdown for the Demon Deacons (4-1, 1-1), who got as close as 26-16 entering the final quarter but never seriously threatened to wrestle control away from the Wolfpack.Wake Forest was going for its first 5-0 start since 2006, which was also the last time it won in Raleigh as part of a surprise run to the ACC title.But the Demon Deacons did themselves no favors in the red zone.

State, Clawson said, we have to score more touchdowns. ... They stopped us when they had to. They are a good football team.THE TAKEAWAYWAKE FOREST: The Demon Deacons defense can keep them in games, but there are days when the offense has to work awfully hard for its production and struggles to dig out of holes.

Mauri was one of eight players accused of rigging the Serie A games between Lazio-Genoa and Lecce-Lazio in May 2011 and for failing to report match-fixing. He was found guilty for his role in the Lecce match but cleared of anything untoward against Genoa. Prosecutor Stefano Palazzi had asked for a 4 1/2-year suspension but Mauri was found guilty only of failing to report match-fixing. Mauri said he will appeal his ban. Palazzi also wanted Lazio to be docked six points, and Genoa and Lecce three points each. However, the federation fined Lazio 40,000 euros ($53,000) and Lecce 20,000 euros ($26,000) because of their players actions. Genoa was cleared. "Im happy that my Lazio does not have to start with a points penalty, but even this sentence for failing to report match-fixing seems unjust to me," Mauri said. "Im trusting in the next level of the justice system to let me put this awful episode behind me.dddddddddddd. "Ill fight as a captain in this situation, too. My aim is to go out onto the pitch with my teammates as soon as possible." Alessandro Zamperini, who was already banned for five years, received a further two-year suspension. Stefano Ferrario was handed a six-month ban, Mario Cassano was suspended for four months and Carlo Gervasoni received a two-month penalty. Omar Milanetto, Massimiliano Benassi and Antonio Rosati were cleared. At least 50 people have been arrested in Italy for match-fixing since mid-2011, with matches under investigation by prosecutors in Cremona, Bari and Naples. Last month, Serie B club Bari plea-bargained for a one-point penalty for match-fixing. Bari was also fined $32,000 under the deal made with the Italian federations disciplinary committee for arranging two matches, while several former players also reached plea bargains. This marks the third consecutive off-season that point penalties have been handed out by the federation. Four Serie A clubs were penalized last season. ' ' '
