Deacs 76 - how could you not recall James Mac (76-80) great freshman RB
Mac - one of our heroes in our win over Auburn in '79.......still the greatest game in Wake History.
Mac had over 100 for us. Joe Cribbs and James Brooks (who both later played in the NFL) also each had over 100 yds. Both teams had over 500 yds total offense.
took me 3 days to get my voice back.......
Dekin-
If you don't have a copy of the S.I. article about the Auburn game saved as do I, you would enjoy reading it again from S.I.'s archives site.
And you're right: greatest game and gameday atmosphere that I can recall. We've had a number of crowds of that size since, but unlike an NCSU/UNC/Clemson/VT, etc. game with lots of visitor colors in the stands , the place was 99.9% black and gold that day.

I've got to say Kinal was one too. 77, a good recruit won't be here til '15. We have to find somebody already in the ranks and we have 7 to choose from. 9 is you count the new guys. But none will work if we can not fix the OL. Look at teams like Wisconsin and Iowa. Their offense succeed because of their OL and the call plays according to what the OL does best. Harbaugh did this at Stanford. He built a B1G OL and went from there. Our OL is not quick off the ball. They "catch and shove", and it was a disaster.
WFU also won at Georgia in 1979. Kevin Butler's 63 yard FG attempt came up a four short as time expired between the hedges .
I THOUGHT THIS WAS A RECRUITING THREAD.
WHY HAS IT GONE TO AN AUBURN THREAD....
Would it be possible to put the Rivals Ratings in the first post like how we do for 247 and ESPN on the next update?
Alright, a few notes as I update the first post:
-They probably weren't realistic targets at this point, but DE Darius Fullwood (UK), WR Jabari Greenwood (UK), OG Jared Thomas (NW), DT Carl Thompson (Kansas), and TE Jalen Harris (Auburn) have all committed.
-Only one new offer reported on 247, and it's to 2*/3* DE Kenneth Mann, out of Burleson, TX. Mann's offer sheet is certainly beatable, and he looks like a potential consolation prize if we miss out on Kengera Daniel and GG Robinson. I think I prefer him to Rahn Bailey at this point.
-Clayton Johnston's 247 page now lists USC as the "favorite." I might have missed that when I updated last week, but I think it's a new change following that offer. Between that and Deac94's news that he's nixed his visit to Wake, I've un-highlighted him here. (Edit: Well, I meant to, but I didn't, so I'll just un-highlight him next week or whatever.)
