Yesterday, Wake Forest won the Meinke Car Care Bowl in Charlotte NC, beating University of Connecticut 24-10. it was a bit nerve wracking going in to halftime with the team down 10-0 to the Huskies but on the opening drive of the second half, the Deacons marched down the field for a major score and never lost control of the game after that.

It is a most satisfying end to a pretty decent season by the team. It may not be the ACC Championship and Orange Bowl game of last year but still much better than it has been in prior years. This is a mature team that knows how to bounce back from adversity and just knows how to win and it did that going 9-4 for the year.

The star of the game was no doubt Kenneth Moore who was Riley Skinner’s favorite target throughout the day. No touchdowns for him on this day but he did up the team to achieve major scores from his efforts. His versatility and ability to make the big play is going to be missed next year along with the rest of the senior class especially center Steve Justice. But there is a star in the future with Josh Adams who managed to put together another outstanding game with a touchdown to start off the team comeback in the second half.

All in all, a pretty good game which I stayed with from end to end. It will take some adjusting for my Saturdays without any college football. But there is a new season in nine months to look forward to and one I hope will be just as excellent as the past two years.
