COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) -- Wake Forest completed the finest road performance in Atlantic Coast Conference history against a team it had trouble beating anywhere.
Now, after defeating Maryland 38-24 Saturday night, the No. 20 Demon Deacons will take their successful road show to Florida to play for the league championship.
"Wake Forest (10-2, 6-2) will be seeking its first ACC title since 1970 next Saturday against Georgia Tech in Jacksonville. The teams did not face each other this season.
The final game of a crazy ACC regular season matched two of the league's most surprising teams in a duel for the Atlantic Division title. Wake Forest handed Maryland (8-4, 5-3) its first home loss behind an offense that was virtually unstoppable."
Pretty good week in college football:
-- The Aggies whooped (!!) t.u.;
-- USC beat ND;
-- WF is going to the ACC game;
All in all, not bad. Hopefully, the Aggies will get a Holiday Bowl bid.
Glad it has been a good week in football for you too!
Oh, and I left out Mary-Hardin Baylor (D-III) is in the quarters of that tournament.
;)
LOL.
What a beautiful sight!!!!! Did you see the game? I couldn't watch but snippets here and there. But WOW!!!! What an amazing year for the Deacons!!!!!
Congrats to the Demon Deacons. Grobe should be Coach of the Year. I know they're celebrating in Winston Salem.
Saw it on TV. Wish I could have been there. It's been a great year. They deserve it!
