It was another ugly offensive performance for Louisville, but it was also another needed win for a Cardinals team that frustrated Wake Forest’s QBs and rallied for a 20-19 come-from-behind win. While the Demon Deacons were able to turn two long receptions into touchdowns, and Louisville was forced to employ three different QBs, the Cardinals’ defense once again proved to be among the better units in the country, forcing five crucial second-half takeaways to key the win.
What the win means for Louisville: The Cardinals’ quest for bowl eligibility took another step forward, but it’s hard to say just how good Bobby Petrino should feel about his team.
