Most of the first half the Deacons had the better team. Blocking in the line was better. Fullback Brian Piccolo ran with authority, quarterback John Mackovic completed seven of 12 passes for 127 yards.

It seemed Wake Forest should be leading fully by two touchdowns when the teams went to their dressing rooms for the halftime rest. The scoreboard said otherwise. It read Carolina 14, visitors 13.
