Page B2-The Chronicle, Thursday Despite 123 yards ru Wake! By SAM DAVIS Clvonicle Sports Editor w r aI? _ ? * 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 1 the good news is that Wake Forest has a good football team. " -- Wake Forest Coach AI Groh I uniting UU1, uic ucawuns LA/Ug 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.

"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.
