I guess the culmination of a frustrating day came when the Terps blocked a punt at Wake’s 11 yard line and were unable to score Two short missed field goals by Nick Ferrara were instrumental in the defeat.

Maryland’s C.J. Brown accounted for 296 yards of total offense, but Wake Forest outlasted the Terps 31-10 Saturday.
Tanner Price threw for 320 yards and three touchdowns to lead Wake Forest which snapped a three-game losing streak to become bowl eligible.
Brandon Pendergrass ran for 125 yards and a score and Jimmy Newman hit a 25-yard field goal for the Demon Deacons (6-5, 5-3 Atlantic Coast Conference), who also got a record-setting day from wide receiver Chris Givens.
QBrown threw for 186 yards and a touchdown and ran for 110 more (his third 100-yard game of the season) for the Terrapins (2-9, 1-6), who were tied 7-7 at the half but managed just a 42-yard Nick Ferrara field goal in the final two quarters despite reaching the red zone three times.
Coach Edsall commented post game:
On the team’s inability to convert after the blocked punt…
“That’s another example. We had two missed field goals. We had a touchdown called back, and then we missed the field goal after that which would have made it 14-13. I think that took a little steam out of us even though we didn’t want it to, you just want to battle back even more, but then again, we couldn’t punch it in. It’s kind of like there at the end of the game. We had the dropped pass in the endzone. That was an exclamation point on what took place.”
