It may take a little more time than usual before the rush of adrenaline Cards fans experienced watching Louisville football’s wire-to-wire victory at No. 19 Wake Forest begins to subside.
Louisville raced out to a 28-7 lead just minutes into the second quarter, and after a fourth-quarter that lasted well over an hour, four onside kicks, and a half dozen reviews later, Scott Satterfield’s team has its first road win over a ranked opponent since 2011.
Eight years and tons of opportunities while fielding deeper, more talented teams have passed, yet it was a rebuilding squad picked to finish dead last in the ACC Atlantic that not only snapped the streak but also ended Wake’s fifth-longest winning streak in the country.
