What To Watch For: Wake Forest Demon Deacons
LOUISVILLE MUST AVOID NEGATIVE PLAYS Wake Forest comes into this game with 17 tackles for loss on the season, while UofL has given up 8 tackles for loss in each of their games against FBS competition. A strength for the Wake defense is a clear weakness for the Cards, but they will need to find […]

Louisville-Wake Forest: A complete timeline of college football’s dumbest rivalry
Rivalry hierarchy is a constant conversation in college sports. In football, you’ve got Ohio State-Michigan, Army-Navy, Auburn-Alabama, Texas-Oklahoma, and of course, Louisville-Wake Forest. If you’re not familiar with why the nation is referring to the series between the Cardinals and Demon Deacons as “the new and improved Ohio State-Michigan,” then it’s time for a refresher […]
Opponent Breakdown: Wake Forest Defense
Wake Forest has started this season with three strong performances, led by a defense that has done well to contain opposing offenses. While their offense has gotten a lot of focus, the Deacs have flown under the radar on the defensive side of the ball. The start to the Miami game was bad, to say […]
Initial Louisville-Wake Forest injury report released
The initial injury report for the Wake Forest game has been released, and Louisville has plenty of contributors on the list. Antonio Watts is listed as doubtful for the game, while Tayon Holloway is questionable. That puts the Cards in jeopardy of not having two starters for the noon start. The remainder of the contributors […]
Five Plays: SMU Mustangs Second Quarter
The second quarter of the SMU game saw both teams cool off a bit on offense. The defenses started to settle in, and both teams made big stops on third and fourth down. Koen Entringer continues to have issues in coverage, which leads to another easy touchdown. Louisville is bringing pressure on this play with […]

Five Plays: SMU Mustangs First Quarter
Louisville had their second-ranked matchup in three weeks on Saturday, and the game started off with a bang.

Opponent Breakdown: Wake Forest Offense
Wake Forest enters the second year of the Jake Dickert era with a 2-1 record and a clear identity built on their coach’s mentality.

Seedy K’s GameCap: SMU
Louisville 41, Southern Methodist 31. Lowerranked. Outtotalyarded. Out1stDowned. Outpossessiontimed. But more pointed. Louisville 41, Southern Methodist 31.

Which I tried to conjure as late afternoon turned into a […]
#23 Louisville Defeats #16 SMU, 41-31
Looking at the schedule this year, the 13-day stretch between Ole Miss and SMU was clearly going to be a season-defining stretch.
