In a virtual carbon copy of the weeknight struggle with Duke, Louisville was careless with the ball and sloppy offensively against Wake Forest in the first half on a chilly Saturday night at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium. Unlike the Duke game, however, Louisville got its offense rolling midway through the third quarter and pulled away for a comfortable 44-12 win.
Earlier this week, ESPN's Booger McFarland dismissed Louisville as a "Lamar Jackson and a bunch of other dudes", it was those other dudes that came through. With Wake Forest determined to make anyone but Lamar Jackson beat them, everyone but Lamar Jackson did.
