The overwhelming sigh of relief inside BB&T Field on Saturday night after the Deacons reached win #6 on the season was unlike anything I’ve felt as a Wake Forest fan. All the frustration, disappointment, and helplessness of the last five years momentarily evaporated into thin air as Josh Banks completed Wake Forest’s 27-20 comeback victory over UVA with a game-clinching sack in the closing moments. It’s almost a curse that even though the odds were heavily in the Deacons’ favor with a mere 13 seconds to go, I wasn’t remotely comfortable that the game was over.
How could you blame me?
