The most painful loss I've ever witnessed in person as a Wake Forest football fan was probably Friday night's 20-19 loss to the Louisville Cardinals. That said, there were positives to the game and I'd be remiss not to mention them.
The Ups
The Defense (Except For One Drive). We held the normally explosive Louisville offense to 317 yards, 5-18 on third down, and only two touchdowns. Not to mention the defense forced a safety. 72 of those yards came on the drive I will mention later, as did one of the touchdowns.
