WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - For the second straight year, Wake Forest waited until the end to best Boston College.<br>
<br>
Cory Randolph threw a 40-yard touchdown pass to Willie Idlette with just over a minute to play to give Wake a 17-14 win over Boston College on Saturday.<br>
<br>
Idlette beat Ryan Glasper, who tried to make a diving interception, for the first TD reception of his career.<br>
<br>
``When I first threw the ball, I saw the safety angling and I figured Willie would catch the ball and go out of bounds,'' said Randolph, who threw the winning TD pass with less than two minutes to go in a 32-28 win at Boston College last year. ``But then I heard the crowd screaming. You've got to keep plugging away and we got the breaks down the stretch again.''<br>
<br>
Randolph was 11-of-19 for 141 yards, and he rushed for 46 more as Wake (3-1) frustrated Boston College (3-1), which will join the Demon Deacons in the Atlantic Coast Conference next season.<br>
<br>
The Eagles were hampered by three missed field goals by freshman Ryan Ohliger.<br>
<br>
``No, it doesn't feel like last year's game,'' said Eagles coach Tom O'Brien, refusing to blame Ohliger. ``We played as a team and we lost as a team. We just did not capitalize on key plays. We had (451 yards), but only scored 14 points.''<br>
<br>
Paul Peterson was 21-of-38 for a career-high 269 yards and one touchdown and A.J. Brooks rushed for a career-high 95 yards and a score for Boston College, which had a six-game losing streak snapped dating to last season.<br>
<br>
Brooks, a true freshman who had just eight carries coming into the game, gave the Eagles their first lead on an 11-yard touchdown run with 9:08 left.<br>
<br>
Brooks had runs of 40 and 12 yards on the Eagles' next possession, but Ohliger missed a 27-yard field goal with 3:12 left.<br>
<br>
Randolph then led Wake on the winning drive, which included Chris Barclay's 2-yard run on fourth-and-1 with from the Eagles' 41.<br>
<br>
``It was 'Deac ball,' that's what the kids have termed it,'' Deacons coach Jim Grobe said. ``We don't do anything real pretty, but we stay pretty competitive. When we needed one drive, we got it.''<br>
<br>
Wake Forest struck first on the final play of the first quarter with a trick play. Quarterback Ben Mauk pitched to wide receiver Nate Morton, who launched a spiral to Chris Davis, who ran it in for a 53-yard touchdown.<br>
<br>
Davis, who caught the winning touchdown pass in Wake's win over Boston College last year, had seven catches for a career-high 112 yards.<br>
<br>
Matt Wisnosky's 37-yard field goal made it 10-0 with 3:55 left before the Eagles responded. Peterson's 7-yard touchdown pass to Joel Hazard with 11 seconds left cut the lead to 10-7 at halftime, the first TD allowed by the Deacons in 107 minutes.<br>
<br>
Boston College wasted two chances in the first quarter, as Ohliger missed field goals of 40 and 37 yards. Ohliger had been 2-for-2 filling in for the injured Mike Fassel.<br>
<br>
``Letting your team down like this, there is no worse feeling in the world,'' Ohliger said. ``I can't explain how sorry I am to those guys. They played their hearts out and I come out for one job and I can't do it. I lost my concentration and I let the fans get in my head.''
