Louisville holds off a late surge to take 62-59 win over #19 Wake Forest

In a game that had a lot of everything in it, Louisville needed every bit of their efforts to survive Wake Forest’s attempt at a 21-point comeback in the fourth quarter.

Evan Conley’s 41-yard touchdown run on fourth-and-one with 2:15 left provided the cushion Louisville needed, as the Cardinals (4-2, 2-1 ACC) pulled off a 62-59 upset of #19 Wake Forest (5-1, 1-1).

The win over the Demon Deacons marked the first time since September 2016 that Louisville defeated a ranked opponent, and the first time since November 2011 that the Cardinals beat a top-25 foe on the road.
