When we called Michigan's 10-9 victory over Northwestern a few weeks ago the worst game of the college football season, we didn't think that another game would surpass it in pure awfulness. We were wrong. Very, very wrong.
Wake Forest and Virginia Tech played a football game today, though they could have just stood and awkwardly stared at each other from the sidelines and it would have produced roughly the same result. The two teams played to a 0-0 tie at the end of regulation, creating a football viewing experience similar to that of seeing Lena Dunham naked for the 400th time. Then, in the two overtime periods that followed that absolutely no one wanted, the two teams STILL couldn't score a touchdown even though they got to start at the opponent's 20-yard line on every drive. Two field goals would win it for Wake Forest, a 6-3 victory that all resulting game tape should be burned and stricken from the history books. Look at this drive chart. LOOK AT IT AND SUFFER.

To quantify just how horrific this game was, the two teams combined to go 8-35 on 3rd downs. Wake Forest carried the ball 42 times for 74 yards, a whopping 1.8 yards per carry average. Each quarterback threw an interception, and anyone who paid money for a ticket to watch the game could be seen crying and whimpering from the stands.
To make matters worse, Virginia Tech head coach Frank Beamer was captured celebrating the 0-0 tie (see above), something only someone as sick as the surgeon in "Human Centipede" would do. You not only failed college football today, guys. You failed our country.
