ESPN RECAP

Wake Forest blows out Louisville 56-35 for first ACC victory

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Wake Forest running back Matt Colburn II couldn't believe the space he had on many of his carries against Louisville. While that says a lot about the Demon Deacons' run blocking, the senior did a lot in turning those openings into a career day against the school that pulled its scholarship offer. Colburn rushed for career highs of 243 yards and three touchdowns, Sam Hartman threw two TD passes and Wake Forest rolled up a season-high 591 yards in a 56-35 rout of Louisville on Saturday. A 2,000-yard career rusher with the Demon Deacons, Colburn said he had moved past Louisville rescinding his scholarship in what Cardinals coach Bobby Petrino chalked up to a numbers situation. Colburn made a statement nonetheless in surpassing his previous bests of 237 yards and two TDs last November against Syracuse.
