Wake Forest defeated Boston College 3-0 Saturday, in arguably the wildest 3-0 game ever. “Really a great, great defensive game”. We’re struggling offensively to move the ball in any consistent fashion at all.
Mike Weaver kicked a 25-yard third-quarter field goal for the only points, after a fumble by freshman running back Jordin Gowins at his own four-yard-line.
YOUTH: Whatever problems the Demon Deacons have, Clawson hopes they are temporary.
The Eagles, meanwhile, have produced just one touchdown in 12 quarters of conference play.
Boston College’s Colton Lichtenberg missed two field-goal attempts – from 26 and 31 yards.
After the team’s respective defenses spent the entire game locking-down their opposing offenses, Boston College, trailing 3-0 in the final minutes, finally managed to drive the ball down the field. I remember telling everybody that… and then we went down there and (they) were like, ‘Wow. For the most part, this game was pretty terrible.
BC’s defense presented its beleaguered offense with a golden scoring opportunity with 56 seconds left when Justin Simmons recovered a Matt Colburn fumble at the Wake 11. “We’re improving in every way except the win column right now, and ultimately that’s what it comes down to”.
No game-winning touchdown, no game-tying field goal, just a brutal loss. “That’s what I thought”. The Deacons (3-3, 1-2) lost two yards over the next three plays before kicking with 10 minutes, 18 seconds left in the quarter.

But the Eagles could not get back to the line and spike the ball before the clock hit double zeroes. Addazio said Howell is hurt so he will be limited to punting. “In my wildest dreams, I didn’t see 20-some-odd seconds draining off the clock like that”. That could be more important if and when Wolford – a big-armed pocket presence who lacks the scrambling ability of Hinton – regains a few playing time after returning to make one pass last week against the Seminoles. But that was a moot point when officials reviewed the play and determined time had indeed expired before the ball had been spiked.
