Through 3 Quarters

The Wake Forest Demon Deacons typically have all the answers at home, but the Louisville Cardinals are posing a tough problem. After three quarters it's looking more and more like the Cardinals' high-powered offense is just too much for Wake Forest as U of L lead 28-13.

U of L has been led by RB Jalen Mitchell, who so far has picked up 163 yards on the ground on 17 carries. This nimble footwork stands out as the first time Mitchell has hit the 100-yard rushing mark this season.

Wake Forest has been relying on WR Jaquarii Roberson, who has caught seven passes for 92 yards, and WR Taylor Morin, who has snatched one receiving TD.

Wake Forest has been used to carrying a lead into the fourth quarter lately, so we'll see how they respond to the deficit.

What to Know

The Louisville Cardinals have had a week off and are no doubt ready to get back on the field. The Cardinals and the Wake Forest Demon Deacons will face off in an ACC battle at noon ET Saturday at Cardinal Stadium. The defensive coordinators will surely put in extra hours ahead of this game since these teams' offenses combined for 1,099 yards two weeks ago.

U of L came within a touchdown against the Boston College Eagles two weeks ago, but they wound up with a 34-27 loss. The losing side was boosted by QB Macale Cunningham, who passed for two TDs and 294 yards on 31 attempts in addition to picking up 133 yards on the ground. Cunningham's 69-yard touchdown toss to WR Dez Fitzpatrick in the fourth quarter made for one of the most memorable moments of the evening.

Meanwhile, Wake Forest didn't finish too far behind, but the team still lost 59-53 to the North Carolina Tar Heels four weeks ago. The Demon Deacons were up 45-31 at the end of the third quarter but couldn't hold on to the lead. A silver lining for them was the play of QB Sam Hartman, who passed for four TDs and 429 yards on 45 attempts in addition to punching in one rushing touchdown.

This next contest is expected to be close, with the Cardinals going off at just a 2.5-point favorite. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (3-1), so they might be worth a quick bet.

U of L is now 3-7 while Wake Forest sits at 4-3. A couple numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: U of L is stumbling into the matchup with the 12th most thrown interceptions in the nation, having thrown 12 on the season. To make matters even worse for the Cardinals, the Demon Deacons haven't thrown an interception yet this season. U of L's sloppiness could come back to bite them.
