After three straight losses, Wake Forest is getting to the point where they have to upset either Louisville this week, Notre Dame on the road (less likely), at Syracuse (possible) and NC State (unlikely).
I think Wake Forest can knock off Duke, but the path to a bowl game got a lot harder with Cuse being decent and Duke and Wake could be playing each other for a bowl berth.
Louisville is sort of a mirror of Wake in some ways with a lot of drops on offense and a running attack and some big play passing, but they have a X-factor in Lamar Jackson. Wake has the better defense by a wide margin and that could keep the game interesting especially at home. This five-game stretch is as tough as I've seen in the ACC in a while.
Wake needs to get the running backs in space a little more and they didn't complete a single pass to Cam Serigne last week and that is unacceptable as well. He has to be featured in the offense more since that is one of few mismatches on the field.
Je'Vionte' Nash needs to stop jumping offsides as well. Wake got lucky the refs swallowed their flags on both teams in that game on the LOS. Both teams were false starting a lot and there was a lot of chippy play that should've been toned down.
