Wake Forest starting running back Ty Clark left the Miami game in the third quarter after an injury following a reception. The report provides no diagnosis, return timetable or status for Louisville; the departure should not be treated as a confirmed absence next week.

Gio Lopez completed 29 of 46 passes for 312 yards, three touchdowns and one interception against Miami, distributing completions to 11 receivers. Jack Foley had six catches for 118 yards and Carlos Hernandez had 10 for 69. The passing game recovered after four consecutive three-and-outs.

Wake Forest finished with only 22 rushing yards against Miami. Freshman Deuce Lawrence led the backs with 27 yards on six carries. The offense depended heavily on passing production in this game; the report does not separate sack losses or establish a new running-back rotation.

Wake Forest forced four consecutive Miami three-and-outs during its second-half recovery. Jake Dickert said the offensive and defensive calls had not changed and credited better execution, tackling in space and fundamentals, rather than a newly installed scheme.

Wake Forest committed 13 penalties for 137 yards. Two fourth-quarter holding flags erased advantageous punt returns; after one backed-up start, a later holding penalty in the end zone produced a safety. Special-teams penalties and field position materially undermined the comeback.
