1 History Postseason Games 2006 ACC Championship Game December 2, 2006 Jacksonville, FL JACKSONVILLE, Fla (AP) Wake Forest's defensive players huddled near the sideline, pushing and shoving, yelling and screaming and jumping. They were trailing 6-3 and ready to do something about it. Riley Swanson did. Swanson intercepted a pass from Georgia Tech quarterback Reggie Ball on the next play, sparking a comeback that gave Wake its first ACC championship in 36 years. Riley Skinner followed Swanson's pick with long completions on consecutive drives, setting up game MVP Sam Swank's final two field goals that gave No. 16 Wake Forest a 9-6 victory over 23rd-ranked Georgia Tech in the ACC title game. Skinner, who grew up in Jacksonville, finished 14-for-25 for 201 yards in his homecoming and may have had the biggest cheering section in the stadium. He was sacked four times, but he came up big when the Demon Deacons needed it most. He hooked up with John Tereshinski for a 39-yard gain on third-and-10, setting up Swank's second field goal, a 33-yarder with 8:27 to play. On the next possession, Skinner found Willie Idlette down the middle for a 45-yard gain, setting up a 22-yarder that turned out to be the game-winner. I can't even put it in words, said linebacker Jon Abbate, who finished with 15 tackles. It's been an unbelievable season. Unbelievable to be ACC champs, and I can't explain it.

History Postseason Games 2007 FedEx Orange Bowl January 2, 2007 Miami, Fla. MIAMI, Fla (AP) Wake Forest finally ran out of magic.

But when they needed one final spark in the biggest game of the year they came up short.

5 Louisville in the Orange Bowl in the Deacons' first BCS appearance. And for a team which made its name on winning the close games, losing one to end the season was tough to take.

Clemson rallied for a 27-17 victory over Wake Forest on Oct. 7. It's funny you get in the Orange Bowl, and it feels really, really good, coach Jim Grobe said.

2 History Postseason Games 2007 FedEx Orange Bowl January 2, 2007 Miami, Fla. MIAMI, Fla (AP) Wake Forest finally ran out of magic. All season long, the Deacons demonstrated an ability to conjure improbable victories in difficult situations, becoming the Cinderella of this year's Bowl Championship Series. But when they needed one final spark in the biggest game of the year they came up short. It's definitely tough to have the lead close to the fourth quarter and lose it (but) it just wasn't our night, quarterback Riley Skinner said. No. 15 Wake Forest lost to No. 5 Louisville in the Orange Bowl in the Deacons' first BCS appearance. And for a team which made its name on winning the close games, losing one to end the season was tough to take. The Deacons (11-3) entered as 10-point underdogs, and did an effective job of keeping Louisville quarterback Brian Brohm in check during the first half, holding him to 7-of- 13 passing for 79 yards at halftime. For a while, the redshirt freshman Skinner outdueled his higher-profile counterpart by completing 14 of his first 17 passes for 199 yards. His 30-yard touchdown pass to Nate Morton tied it at 10 early in the third quarter. For the Deacons, there wasn't a single turning point - much unlike the last time they blew a fourth-quarter lead. Clemson rallied for a victory over Wake Forest on Oct. 7. It's funny you get in the Orange Bowl, and it feels really, really good, coach Jim Grobe said. But when you lose it, it doesn't feel any different than if you lose any other time.
