U of L's defense was a presence as well, as it collected two interceptions and two fumbles. The picks came courtesy of LB Yasir Abdullah and DB M.J. Griffin.
Wake Forest is the favorite in this one, with an expected 3.5-point margin of victory. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a four-game streak of ATS wins.
Wake Forest is now 6-1 while U of L sits at 4-3. A pair of defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Demon Deacons come into the contest boasting the 12th fewest rushing touchdowns allowed in the nation at five.
