Wake Forest Headed To Orange Bowl
Reporter: Associated Press
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Sam Swank kicked the tying and go-ahead field goals in the fourth quarter as 16th-ranked Wake Forest beat number-23 Georgia Tech 9-to-6 in the A-C-C championship game.
The victory gives the Demon Deacons their first A-C-C title in
36 years.
Riley Skinner, who grew up in Jacksonville, threw two long
passes to set up the two fourth-quarter field goals. His 45-yard
pass to Willie Idlette led to Swank's 22-yarder which proved to be
the game-winner.
Skinner finished 14-of-25 for 201 yards. Georgia Tech
quarterback Reggie Ball completed just 9-of-29 pass attempts for
129 yards with two interceptions.
Wake Forest improves to 11-and-2 and clinches a berth in the
January second Orange Bowl. Georgia Tech goes to 9-and-4.
