Dascenzo: Deacons in midst of special season

Posted Oct 29, 2006

When you're hot, you're hot and, trust me, Wake Forest's football team is on fire. The Deacs held off troubled North Carolina 24-17 Saturday in Kenan Stadium when ex-Northern High star Josh Gattis picked up a fumble by UNC's Nick Starcevic. You could have started playing "Taps" for the Tar Heels right then and there. (Durham Herald-Sun)
