Years of patient building led Wake Forest to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game. Coach Dave Clawson knows it's going to take even better play to stay there, and that job has only gotten tougher during preseason. The 22nd-ranked Demon Deacons hit an unexpected bump with quarterback Sam Hartman having to step away indefinitely to seek treatment for what the school has described only as a medical condition unrelated to football. It's unclear when he might return, a big question for a team that otherwise has nine offensive and eight defensive starters back from a squad that cracked the top 10 nationally and tied a program record with 11 wins.
