Running back Tyler Rouse had run into the line on a play that started with 14 seconds left. The Eagles ended up having three fumbles and an interception, which led to the Demon Deacons getting bailed out of bad situations and helped them escape Chestnut Hill with their first ACC win.
The Eagles also had a third-and-1 at the Wake Forest 8 with under two minutes left, but Troy Flutie fumbled on a sneak and the ball squirted out of the pile and defensive back Zach Dancel recovered. Boston College failed to get in the end zone, and then could not spike the ball in time to stop the clock and kick a field goal, giving Wake Forest the win.
Boston College’s Colton Lichtenberg missed two field goal attempts – from 26 and 31 yards.
Weaver missed on a 43-yard attempt in the opening half.
Boston College’s defense, No. 1 in the country coming in, didn’t allow a touchdown for the second straight week, but the Eagles still fell to 3-3, 0-3. “They still are really good on defense”.
Boston College, trailing 3-0, ran two plays down to the one-yard line.
Asked if he expects to settle on one quarterback for the remainder of the season, Addazio said, “That’s one I’m going to take a real long, hard look at tonight and tomorrow, not that I thought it had anything to do with anything, to be honest with you”. “Because I think BC attracts those players with the same blue-collar work ethic and personality.”… “That’s life. I’m a big boy, got to handle it and we’ll move forward”.
Demon Deacons played Florida State tough last week, but have yet to register a win over a BCS-conference school, with losses coming against Indiana and Syracuse this season.
The only score of the game would come in the third quarter. The Eagles defense stoned the Deacons for minus-2 yards on three plays before Wake kicker Mike Weaver nailed a 25-yard field goal with 10:18 to play in the third.
