Sports Extra
Winning with defense
Wake Forest has amassed 114 yards of total offense and leads Boston College 21-16. The only offensive touchdown drive by either team has covered one yard. It is, in short, one of the oddest games in recent ACC history.
The best of the Demon Deacons' 16 drives has covered 42 yards. No other possession has advanced the ball more than 14.
If it doesn't hit a big play in the final eight minutes, Wake will probably finish with its lowest total offensive figure in Jim Grobe's eight seasons. And it might win, too.
Sam Swank returned to action for Wake when he kicked the extra point following Kevin Patterson's 15-yard fumble return for a TD. Shane Popham is punting and Andrew Wright is handling kickoffs.
