UNC has struggled in close games as Wake has thrived

Posted Oct 27, 2007

Over the last two seasons, Wake Forest has won eight of its nine games decided by seven points or fewer. The Tar Heels, meanwhile, have compiled a 3-7 record in such games during that span, including a 1-4 mark this season. UNC coach Butch Davis is well aware of that difference between the teams as the Tar Heels (2-5, 1-2 ACC) make their first trip to Groves Stadium since 2004. (Durham Herald-Sun)
