Wake was handed its first defeat of the season by Boston College this week. These posts are more fun to write after a win, but even in the loss were bright spots to appreciate. Here are the nominees for Deac of the Week:

The running game finally got going for the Deacs, after a slow start in the first two games of the season. Colburn rushed 23 times for 117 yards and a score (5.1 yards per carry), and added 16 yards on a couple of catches. He also hit one of the cleanest spin moves of all time.
