Birr with the field goal with 2 seconds left to tie it. Heading to OT with No. 16 Georgia Tech and Wake Forest at 23-all... Deacs fans still fuming over officials appearing to miss offsides call that led to WF throwing a free-play pass with no flag to protect time for GT

Haynes fumble on the first play, pops right to the Deacs... who are starting in FG range with about 6 1/2 left.

GT marches again, short FG gets us level at 20-20 with 9:45 left. Deacs have stalled, Jackets have put multiple drives together finally.

King with the TD keeper. No. 16 Jackets pull within 20-17 in final minute of Quarter 3.

Jackets finally get to the end zone, King finds Rivers on 3rd-and-long to cap a 13-play drive. Wake Forest still leads 20-10 (5:39/3Q) but has backup QB Deshawn Purdie likely in charge now.

Ashford has jogged to the tunnel now after being on the sideline testing out his right leg/knee, talking to trainers, being in and out of tent, etc. Status TBD.

Deacs open the second half with a 12-play scoring drive, though QB Robby Ashford exited with an apparent right leg/knee injury after a long keeper. Settled for a FG, but the lead on No. 16 Georgia Tech is now 20-3 (10:33/3Q)

Halftime in Winston: Wake Forest 17, No. 16 Georgia Tech 3. Total offense: WF 255, GT 134. Um, Jackets?

Deacs force another punt. Haynes King is spraying the ball, got guys having to make effort to reel in short passes. King has completed 13 of 19 passes for 50 yards and a whopping 2.63 yards per attempt.

Deacs strike again... Claiborne goes left side and weaves through blockers ahead -- including QB Robby Ashford -- to hit the end zone from 27 yards out. Wake Forest now up 14-3 on No. 16 Georgia Tech, 5:53/2Q. Situation at least simmering here...

Jackets sputtering in Winston, Deacs take advantage with a tough scoring drive -- ending with Ashford extending the ball with both hands across the goal line on the TD keeper. WF 7, No. 16 GT 3, 2Q

People thought the ACC got rid of divisions. Actually, Coastal Chaos just swallowed the whole league ...

We're deep into the first quarter in Winston and I'm happy to report there's been no mishap in a barbecue truck that fills the air with smoke unlike the last home game.

A belated howdy from Winston, where No. 16 Georgia Tech is at Wake Forest and we're starting with dry weather. Both teams punted on first possession... Jackets going for first 5-0 start since 2014.
