Things haven’t exactly gone Wake Forest’s way, and one series of events pretty much encapsulates the ACC team’s Week 4 struggles.
Midway through the first quarter, Wake was lined up for a 38-yard field goal attempt that, if good, would’ve given them an early 3-0 lead on Notre Dame. The only problem? Their kicker, Nick Sciba, was nowhere to be found as he was still on the sidelines practicing for a field goal attempt that his 10 other teammates were already on the field for ready to execute.
Wake Forest's kicker Nick Sciba was still practicing when he was supposed to be on the field...

To add to the misery, Sciba, after he actually got on to the field, clanged the attempt off the uprights.
As of this posting, the Fighting Irish lead the Demon Deacons 35-13 with just under eight minutes left in the third quarter. Sciba did convert on both of his next two field goal attempts (from 30 and 39 yards out) as well as an extra point try, so he;'s got that going for him. Which is nice.
