Matt Colburn was likely headed to Louisville but Bobby Petrino didn’t feel he could be a successful ACC running back.
After getting a cold shoulder at Louisville, Colburn ended up at Wake Forest.
Today, Colburn carried the ball 20 times for 243 yards and 3 touchdowns to lead the Demon Deacons to a 56-35 win over Louisville.
