Wake Forest had been on top throughout most of the game. The Demon Deacons took a 24-21 lead into halftime and then kept the Cardinals to just six second-half points to pull off the win.
Louisville entered the game with a 2-1 record. The Cardinals lost their season opener to Ole Miss, but answered back with a blowout win over Villanova and then a conference win over then-ranked SMU.
This loss to Wake Forest is not only Louisville’s second of the season, but their first conference loss. The Cardinals still have upcoming games against Florida State, Georgia Tech, and North Carolina. Louisville still has a path to the College Football Playoff, but the program’s margin for error was significantly reduced by Saturday’s loss to Wake Forest.
