Wake Forest led Louisville 6-3 at halftime. People on Twitter got their jokes off, but walking out of The Slice with a W is harder than that.

Louisville rolled to a 44-12 victory at the end of four quarters. It was unsurprising because Wake Forest is bad.

But according to Dan Collins of The Winston-Salem Journal, Wake Forest has launched an investigation into just how much Louisville knew going into the game.

Wake Forest is investigating how documents pertaining to its game plan might have ended up in Louisville’s hands before last Saturday’s game at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium.

“We are concerned that there was some type of security breach,’’ coach Dave Clawson said Tuesday. “I have shared it with Ron Wellman, and we’re doing everything we can to make sure all of our information and data is more secure moving forward.’’

Wellman, Wake Forest’s director of athletics, said Clawson told him of the possible breach on Friday, the day before the Deacons’ lost to the fifth-ranked Cardinals 44-12. Wellman said a member of Wake Forest’s traveling party found the documents at the stadium.

Personally, I wouldn't put anything past Papa John. He built an opulent palace, and now he needs the appropriate accessories like a Heisman and a College Football Playoff Trophy.
