Undefeated at 5-0 and ranked 19th in the nation, it’s safe to say Wake Forest isn’t going to sneak up on anybody the rest of this season.

The Demon Deacons didn’t surprise Louisville, who gave them their closest game of the season, going back-and-forth in Winston-Salem until Nick Sciba kicked a 29-yard field goal with 22 seconds remaining to down the Cardinals, 37-34.

Wake Forest (5-0, 3-0 ACC) will play at Syracuse at 3:30 p.m. Saturday against an Orange team that has suffered losses to Rutgers and woeful Florida State. A win for the Deacs, the lone unbeaten ACC team, will make them bowl eligible heading into their bye next week.
