A game in which the final score belied how close the game really was, Wake Forest’s 28-7 loss to Notre Dame in South Bend was an agonizingly competitive outing that showed just how well the team is capable of playing…and how little they’ll have to show for it.

Prosise had a 91-yard score against Georgia Tech on September 19.
