Previously Random and Curiously Meaningless Thoughts

Leading 47-42 with 3:42 to play Jermel Jenkins hit [...]

Begrudgingly Random and Belatedly Meaningless Thoughts
1. No bowl game for Wake Forest. No fourth win in a row over FSU for the Deacs. No first time for any QB in the ACC to win four in a row over the Seminoles. The only thing that could have made the outcome better was if the score had been 30-0.
2. Christian who? [...]
