The 2021 edition of University of Louisville football kept getting better despite being on the wrong end of a 37-34 loss at Wake Forest Saturday. Scoring 17 points in the fourth quarter before yielding a 21-yard field goal to the Deacons with 22 seconds to go.
Wake Forest may well be one of the better teams in Atlantic Coast Conference this season. But the Deacons, who are undefeated after five games, would have to acknowledge they were lucky to remain undefeated. Contributing to their good fortune were a few official reviews, some endless seconds on the game clock, a couple of missed free throw attempts and some untimely Louisville miscues.
