Here's the game notes from Wake media relations. I was not solo with coach Manning today as I thought may be possible, as the Winston-Salem Journal sent a replacement (Kegan Lowe), and Brian Hall from WFMY was there too. I was able to get to a few of your questions, though, and I'll have that article up for you folks later tonight.
