Boston College’s Loss To Wake Forest Featured One Of The Most Embarrassing
But the Eagles could not get back to the line and spike the ball before the clock hit double zeroes.
“We’ve got a lot of new pieces in there and continual shuffling of bodies due to injuries is unsettling, so we are not getting the continuity we need to be an execution offense”, coach Steve Addazio said Monday. “By the time we got the ball there was one second left”.
One of the games that was featured from the ACC here in Week 6 of the college football season was the Wake Forest Demon Deacons taking on the Boston College Eagles. “Really an excellent, stunning shielding game”. Wake Forest looked to have the game in hand with under a minute to go, when the team fumbled the ball right back over to Boston College, who took over at the 11-yard line.
Weaver missed on a 43-yard attempt in the opening half. In this one, the winners were the Demon Deacons by a jaw-dropping score of – 3-0.
Smith finished 4 of 12 for 56 yards and one interception (on a pass that ricocheted of Sherman Alston) and rushed 11 times for 44 yards, including a gain of 29.
Points might be at a premium Saturday when Boston College brings the nation’s top-ranked defense into a meeting with visiting Wake Forest for a matchup of last-place teams in the ACC Atlantic Division. Boston College had 270.
The Eagles, who piled up easy wins over a pair of FCS schools in their first two games, came in ranked No. 1 among FBS schools with the fewest yards allowed.
“That’s Football 101. It comes with experience”, Demon Deacons linebacker Brandon Chubb said (via the Associated Press).
The Demon Deacons collected just 142 total yards. Flutie tried a keeper on third-and-inches on the Wake 8-yard line and fumbled the ball away with 1:03 remaining.
But the Eagles didn’t just look a gift horse in the mouth, they vomited in that mouth. The whole offensive meltdown was accentuated by two missed red-zone field goals by freshman kicker Colton Lichtenberg.
Cavalier junior keeper Morgan Stearns had a danger-free half compared to her Wake Forest counterpart, freshman Nonie Frishette. There were nine total punts, five by Wake Forest. He was 8 of 10 on the season before the miss.
