Wake Forest head coach Jake Dickert post-Louisville win press conference
- After Wake Forest's 30-27 win at Louisville, Jake Dickert said the defensive plan was to stop Louisville's run and limit its quarterback's scramble chances, forcing more pocket passing. He credited halftime defensive adjustments but also identified a blown inverted-two coverage on a late first-half touchdown; this is a game-specific account, not an announced new base defense.
- Dickert credited Wake Forest back Clark's physical rushing at Louisville and said the offense used gap and zone runs against a defense it believed vulnerable on the ground. He praised the offensive line's work in that game but did not announce a lasting backfield workload or a new blocking package.
- Wake Forest's Dallas Aava blocked a Louisville field-goal try, which Dickert described as the team's second straight week with a field-goal block. He credited the staff's aggressive special-teams work but also said punt returns and penalties did not give Wake a consistent edge that day; the block is an observed play, not a forecast.
