Wake now with more points two minutes into the 2Q than they scored the entire game against us. That loss hasn't stopped stinging yet.

It does still sting. We beat them everywhere but the scoreboard. It was so disappointing to lose that one.

They wore this uniform combo once prior to this game. And used it in marketing this game.

I'm still convinced that if we would have beaten Wake Forest, we would have gone undefeated the rest of the way and finished ranked inside the top 10/15 with our only loss coming at the hands of a highly ranked UGA team on the road and in the first game of the season.

That Wake Forest game had the chance to be a true game changer for the program. Imagine how it would have affected in-state recruiting.

I felt the same way about the Tennessee loss last season.

Here comes A&M, 38-35 now. And yes, that game still hurts.

I don't think a win against Wake would have prevented injuries to Stringer and others. I don't recall precisely when the mid-season injury bug bit us, but I don't remember us being too banged up against Wake.

Wake back on top 48-45 with 9 minutes left. I hope they hold on. This game is taking forever.

Best game of the bowl season so far. Hate we couldn't beat Wake earlier this season but that was a fun game to watch!

I'd rank it #2 behind Army/San Diego St., but it was a heck of a game.

Wake gets away with a PI in the last minute of a tight game (feels familiar), but this time no makeup call the next play.

We gave that game to Wake. My stomach still churns when I think back to that one and the Tennessee game Iast year. What should have been...
It is still Great to be a Mountaineer!!!

If that receiver had not been touched it would have still been a heckuva grab for him bring that ball in. It may have been a make up call for one they missed earlier where a Wake receiver was clearly held but no flag was tossed. Or, they just didn't think it was a catchable ball. I don't think it was a game changer. Both teams had plenty of opportunities to overcome adversity, and or simply play a little bit of defense. I think we would have beaten either team today had we been selected for the Belk Bowl.
