With The Win

A Pair Of 100-Yard Rushers

Wake Forest junior Josh Harris and freshman Deandre Martin each rushed for over 100 yards in the game.
Harris finished with 129 yards on 12 carries and two touchdowns while Martin posted 115 yards on 13 carries and two touchdowns.
The duo is the first Wake Forest tandem to each rush for over 100 yards in a game since Chris Barclay (210) and Micah Andrews (142) each ran for over 100 yards against East Carolina on Sept. 17, 2005.
That was Harris' fourth 100-yard rushing game in his career and the most since he had 136 yards against Florida State last season. It was also his third-career multi-touchdown game of his career. He also ran for two scores against Presbyterian and Virginia Tech in 2010.
For Martin, it was his 100-yard rushing game and his first multi-touchdown game.

Season-High Rush Yards

The Demon Deacons had a season-high 296 yard on the ground against Army.

The Beat Goes On For Camp

Campanaro also ran the ball five times for 31 yards and another score.
His 4-yard touchdown run in the first quarter was the second of his career. His first TD run came on Sept. 18, 2010 at Stanford.

For the season, Campanaro has 36 receptions for 421 yards and he has a total of four touchdowns.

Three's NOT A Crowd

Josh Harris had 129 rushing yards, Deandre Martin had 115 yards rushing and Michael Campanaro had 153 yards receiving.

Price Moving Up The Charts

Junior Tanner Price finished the game 15-of-24 for 221 yards and two touchdowns.
That was his first multi-touchdown pass game of the season.
Price moves into fifth all-time in school history with 5,191. He passed Rusty LaRue who finished with 5,056 yards from 1992-95.
That was also Price's 10 career victory as a starting quarterback, moving him into a tie for 10th in school history.

Jackson Gets Defensive

Justin Jackson had a career-game against the Black Knights.
Jackson finished the game with a career-high 11 tackles, his second blocked kick and his first career fumble recovery.
Jackson blocked Army's first PAT attempt in the first quarter. That was the second blocked kick of his career. He also blocked a punt last season against North Carolina.
That was the first blocked PAT for the Deacs since Kevin Smith blocked one against Boston College on Nov. 6, 2010.

It was the 10th game with 49 or more points by the Deacs in the ACC era.
