Marcus Tracy scored the Deacs only goal against South Carolina on Sunday afternoon on the way to a 1-0 win and a 4-0 record to start the season. Tracy has a goal in all four games, which is pretty amazing to me. It'll be interesting to see how long he can keep that streak going.

Here's an interesting take on Saturday's game regarding its indication of Ole Miss's reemergence. It also might be the first time I've seen the word "mates" used in an article about American football. Go figure.

No surprise; Swank gets a helmet sticker and the ACC game changing performance for the week.

My preliminary blogpoll ballot will be up later in the day (hopefully before noon). Check back and let me know what you think.

Two Wake Forest starts have received awards for their performances last weekend. Riley Skinner was named offensive back of the week, and Marcus Tracy was named College Soccer News player of the week. Congrats to both!

I joined the ACC Nation guys for their "beat the blogger" session this week, and also got to talk about last Thursday's win over Baylor. Listen here.

In the news today. . . wait for it . . . I'm sure it's here somewhere . . . nope, I guess not. As far as I can tell, absolutely no one wrote anything about Wake today. Funny how that happens.

At least I'm here, right?

Remember that analysis of the Baylor game I've been promising? Well I went back through the whole game and made a big excel spreadsheet of all the different things Wake did, planning to show you some interesting things like play type and formation by down and distance, summaries of what made scoring drives work, who made good plays and who didn't, and all kinds of other fun stuff. Only problem is, I'm having trouble getting Excel to cooperate and give me the types of summaries I want. I'll keep working on it and hopefully get it up today. At this point I'm past making any promises though.

I've got a brief commentary on the state of the ACC coming later in the day, and hopefully the Baylor report I mentioned. Then we can hopefully turn our attention to Ole Miss (and I guess Hanna) on Wednesday.
