The University of Louisville will square off against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons at noon on Saturday at Cardinal Stadium. Neither team is very good statistically and their records show it with Wake Forest sitting at 3-4 and the Cards at 2-5.
Offensively Wake Forest has been moving the ball decently, but it has been their defense that has decimated the program having already terminated its defensive coordinator mid-season. If Louisville’s defense is up to the task it stands to reason that the Cards could score some points vs. WF and make this a ballgame.
