ii ever ine saying "we piayea
well enough to win" could be applied,
Wake Forest's 21-20 loss to
Virginia Tech last Saturday night
fits the bill. The Deacons had
their chances, but came up empty.
The final opportunity for a
Wake Forest win occurred with
three seconds left. But, with time
"The sad news is that we
played hard enough to win
.... The bad news is that we
lost the football game. And

Forest has a good football
team. "

tiling missed a 40-yard field goal.
A Virginia Tech win had seemed
unlikely as the Deacon running
game and defense completely
dominated all but about four
minutes of the second half. Wake
Forest came from a first-half
deficit of 14-6 to go on top 20-14
with 13:50 remaining in the
fourth quarter.
However, Virginia Tech went
through the Deacon defense like
a buzz saw en route to the winning
touchdown, eating up chunks
of yardage along the way to
notch the win after Illing missed a
34-yard field goal with 6:45 remaining
in the game.
4'If we had played better in the
impact areas, we could have
won,v said Deacon Coach A1
Groh after the loss. "The game
reinforced why those things
(kicking, turnovers, fumbles) are
so vital to us.
"The sad news is that we
played hard enough to win,"
Groh said. "The bad news is that
we lost the football game. And
the good news is that Wake
Forest has a. good football

"clawed back to preserve its

Groh, visibly upset by the loss,
chose to concentrate on the remainder
of the Deacons' schedule
rather than the heartbreaker.
"I'm ooised and classv about
the loss, but I am disappointed,"
said Groh. 4'We're getting better
and better. I saw some good
things out there tonight."
One of the pleasant sights for
Groh was the running of junior
halfback Michael Ramseur.
Ramseur had 123 yards rushing
on 29 attempts, 102 coming in the
second half.
"1 felt all along that we have
good backs and an outstanding
offensive line," said Groh.
"Thar doesn't mean we don't
want to pass; it's just something
we've developed as a team.

on the Deacons' first play of the
season.
The Hokies quickly reached
paydirt, going 12 yards in only
two plays. Tech quarterback
Mark Cox went up the middle on

from three yards out and Don
Wade's kick made the score 7-0

Illing booted a 32-yard field goal

touchdown. Cox went the final
three yards to get the score and
Wade's second extra point widened
the margin to 14-3.

The first 24 minutes of the se
