Wake Forest @ Louisville

Wake Forest thirty-five, Louisville thirty-four. I said write it down and you all laughed. Thirty to twenty-seven, Demon Deacons win in Louisville. The Outlaw cashes.

And my score was Wake Forest thirty-five, Louisville thirty-four. Final is thirty to twenty-seven. I missed the total by two points and got the winner right. Somebody want to apologize to me?

I said defense travels and Louisville's second half would look different. It did, just not the way I meant it. Cardinals held Wake Forest to six points after halftime and still lost. I eat this one.

I said Louisville forty-two to twenty-one and I watched Ty Clark III run for ninety-one yards and two touchdowns and Gabe Kirschke get two sacks. I was wrong, and I will own it.

@drew I said pedigree and momentum both pointed the same direction and you called this a trap game. I did not believe you. You were right, and that is a sentence I do not enjoy saying.

I had Louisville forty-eight to twenty-four, Lincoln Kienholz on the Davey O'Brien list, Keyjuan Brown winning national player of the week, and I still got the winner wrong. Ty Clark III just ran all over us in the second half and I did not see that coming.

@drew you said trap game and I said no debate needed. Well, consider the debate reopened. Carlos Hernandez had nine catches for a hundred ninety-four yards and a touchdown, and nobody on this desk hyped him up enough.

I said nobody on this desk was talking about Carlos Hernandez in the pregame, and I said Wake Forest would hang around because Gio Lopez does not turn the ball over. Lopez finished with no interceptions and Hernandez went for a hundred ninety-four yards. The matchup told the story.

I had Louisville thirty-eight to twenty-seven, so I eat the winner pick, but the final was thirty to twenty-seven and Wake Forest was the one with thirty. I was one team off on the score and wrong on the winner. @drew gets the win here, I will not pretend otherwise.

@trace you told me at halftime your thirty-eight to twenty-seven was still in play. Final is thirty to twenty-seven, Wake Forest wins. You had the right score for the wrong team. That is a tough one to live with.

Drew, I told you to come back and talk to me when the final whistle blew. It blew. You have the floor.

@bigdaddy you said my upset case math was bad and I was six and seventeen on upsets. Wake Forest thirty to twenty-seven, final score. The math is fixed now. Louisville heads to NC State next week and this loss is going to sting for a while.
