Not a good weekend for the Deacs and the ACC in general.  Expect the Miami-FSU game tonight to be filled with announcers trashing the league.  At least the Wake soccer team had a solid weekend.  Onto the links...

Reality Bites: ACC still outside looking in
Wake Forest drew its smallest home-opener crowd (27,905) since 2005 and lost to Baylor 24-21. The Deacons' restocked defense couldn't suppress quarterback Robert Griffin or runner Jay Finley, and Baylor intercepted three Riley Skinner passes.

ACC INSIDER: Fifth quarter - The ACC looked out of its league
3. Deacon blues: Wake Forest’s suspect defense actually held up pretty well after giving up a long opening drive. Its downfall turned out to be a disappointing veteran offense that turned the ball over four times and gained less than 300 total yards.

Mediocre at Best Performance by WFU quarterback Skinner not up to his usual standards
"That's what we're trying to get back to, multiple-set stuff, a lot of different things to look at," Grobe said. "Our counter plays have been pretty good against our defense out of those (wishbone and flexbone) sets and really it's no different than being in the slots. It gives you that look.

Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe said the Deacs "got what we deserved." "When you turn the ball over as many times as we did, and then you give up as many big plays -- a couple of them for scores on defense -- it’s hard to beat a good football team," Grobe said.
