The Two Skips, Brown and Prosser, and Nikita Whitlock
James McDougald deserves special mention. I remember him rushing for 200+ yards against Clemson. May never see that again by a Wake RB.
Auburn 1983: T Agee 219 yds, L James 115 yds and Bo 105 yds... vs Maryland.
HOWEVER....Other teams, in addition to Nevada, to get four rushers 100 yards were Army in 1984, Alabama in 1973, Texas in 1969, and Arizona State in 1951.
Well, Packer's name is rarely mentioned in discussions of Wake's past stars...
Packer didn't exactly endear himself during his broadcast years. In an effort, I assume, not to be a Homer for Wake, he seemed to go in the opposite direction and bash Wake whenever he could. Kind of the anti-Arnie as an ambassador for the school.
No love for any of the golfers? We were a golf school winning back to back NCAA in the 70's. So, I have to give a nod to Curtis Strange (and Jay Haas)
I have no way of knowing for sure, but I tend to think that Packer was probably a little bitter at WF when he was not given a chance to get the WF coaching job when it came open while he was a WF assistant. Packer's dad was the coach at Lehigh and...as he proved in his long career announcing college basketball...Packer was an excellent student of the game. Packer might also have been a good recruiter. He pushed the University very hard to go after Artis Gilmore while he was an assistant at Wake, in spite of some academic problems that would have had to be worked out.

Charlie Davis is, and always has been, the man!
