Alright Deacon fans, get on your FEET!
Hope to see you peeps around this weekend, looking forward to watching the Deacs play a tough Terp team. :thumbsup:
I've been to some weird Wake-Maryland games over the years. There was the 1981 game when Schofield passed for a (then) NCAA record of 500+ yards and we still lost. There was a Mike Elkins (?)-Boomer Easison shoot-out a few years later, and we lost. Dooley's first team in 1987 started out 5-0 and then lost to Maryland in the most boring football game I've ever been to. In 1993, John Leach rushed for a record 329 yards and we lost. On the plus side are the 2006 Atlantic Division championship clinch win and the 2007 comeback.

Schofield had the record for 1 week. Jim McMahon passed him the next saturday. You're right, this has always been a weird game. Keep LOBO out of the press box!
Is that game Caldwell went for it on 4th and goal late in the game and we didn't get it, and a field goal would've put us up by more than a field goal?

fg would have put us up more than a td. Caldwell goes for it and then Maryland marches down the field 99 yards to beat us with no time left.

WF had already missed an PAT in that game, and WF's starting kicker was out. MD's rush defense was the worst in the NCAA dead last. WF's John Leach had rushed for over 300 yards. There was a reasonable basis to eschew the FG and think that WF could gain a yard on 4th and goal from the 1.
