Boston College football coach Frank Spaziani tries to avoid getting into his opponent’s head. But with Wake Forest, it’s all there, clear as day.

The Demon Deacons are 4-4 (2-4 ACC) with four games left. They’ve withstood injuries, suspensions, and even though they’ve lost three of their last four, they can still reach a bowl game for the sixth time in coach Jim Grobe’s 12-year tenure.
