Deacoru By Bruce Ritchie Gamccock Staff Writer After back-to-back 1-10 seasons, the Wake Forest Deamon Deacons are no longer a patsy on the football field. Currently second in the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Deacons have earned a 4-2 record against conference foes. Coach John Mackovic's ball club will close their most successful season in 35 years Saturday as they come to Columbia for a 1:30 contest against the Gamecocks. A VICTORY over Carolina would improve the Deacons' 8-2 overall record and strengthen their hopes for a bowl bid. Wake Forest has made only two post-season appearences in its football history ?

USC currently leads the 70-yearold series with a 29-20-2 advantage. Jn last year's game, the Gamecocks came away with an easy 37-14 verdict in Columbia. The loss to USC ended a long season for Mackovic, then in his first season as the Deacon coach. His second ballclub however, has been the "Cinderella" team of 1979. The Deacons surprised many people when they beat Georgia in Athens early this season. They have since notched big victories over North Carolina, Maryland, and Auburn before losing to Clemson31-0.
