WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Wake Forest has promoted safeties coach Lyle Hemphill to defensive co-ordinator.

Coach Dave Clawson on Sunday also made defensive line coach Dave Cohen his assistant head coach for defence.

The moves came two months after defensive co-ordinator Jay Sawvel was fired following a 56-28 loss to Notre Dame.

The Demon Deacons held North Carolina State to 47 yards rushing in a 27-23 road victory three weeks ago and held Duke to 251 total yards in a 59-7 rout on Saturday that wrapped up bowl eligibility.

Clawson says he “saw improvement in all phases of our defence” as the season progressed.
