WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Kenny Almendares' 31-yard field goal with :52 seconds remaining snapped a 38-all tie and Matthew Dennis' potential game-tying 42-yard attempt at the buzzer bounced off the left upright as Louisiana earned a resilient 41-38 win over Wake Forest on Saturday at Allegacy Federal Credit Union Stadium. Ben Wooldridge tossed for three touchdowns and rushed for a one while Lance LeGendre set career-highs in receptions (6), yards (123), touchdowns (2) and long reception (48) as Louisiana (3-1) never trailed and earned its first-ever victory over an ACC team in three tries. Louisiana built a 14-3 lead in the first quarter after Wooldridge connected with Tavion Smith on a 2-yard scoring pass on the Ragin' Cajuns opening drive before bulling his way into the end zone on a 1-yard scoring plunge with :56 remaining in the period.
