In a game marred by penalties, #16 Louisville fell to #1 Wake Forest with a final score of 30-27. Louisville's penalties, particularly in the second half, proved costly, leading to key scoring opportunities squandered.

Despite these missteps, Louisville still managed three significant penalties of their own, including calls that appeared questionable and added to their woes. The defensive struggles continued to be a concern, with issues persisting both due to injuries and coaching decisions. As Wake Forest now looks to build on this unexpected victory, the road ahead remains challenging to achieve the top-tier status they aimed for following their recent success.
