Swank injury has surprised Deacs
Informed of kicker Sam Swank's quadriceps injury last month, Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe wasn't initially alarmed. Nobody was.
"I was laughing about it," Grobe admitted today. "It's not quite as funny now. I certainly didn't think it was going to be a major deal. Not a four-week deal."
You can pretty much count Swank out for the fifth straight game on Saturday. If the senior will return is now a viable -- if unpleasant -- question. His quest for the ACC's all-time scoring title is all but over.
"It's a shame because he's just watching games tick away," Grobe said.
