Wake Forest Football Investigating a "Breach" Before Louisville Stomped Them

Wake Forest got drubbed by Louisville on Saturday, 44-12. It was not what you would call an upset, considering the fifth-ranked Cardinals have the presumptive Heisman winner and one-man touchdown factory in quarterback Lamar Jackson and Wake Forest has, uh, a 6-4 record. But Demon Deacons head coach Dave Clawson thinks something else was afoot: a very vague "security breach" where some Wake Forest "documents" went missing.

Here are Clawson and athletic director Ron Wellman explaining the situation, from the Winston-Salem Journal:

"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 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.

Wellman declined to elaborate on the nature of the documents.

"Since that time we have been looking at various possibilities and haven't come up with anything for certain at this point,'' Wellman said Tuesday night. "But we will continue to review everything that we do and investigate how this might have happened and make sure it doesn't happen in the future.''

Honestly, I hope Louisville did steal the documents and I hope they were in a folder labeled "Secret Winning Formula (Maybe Jackson Gets Hurt)." I hope someone from Louisville infiltrated the building and swiped it under cover of night, pilfered all the juicy nuggets, and told their star quarterback to be careful with regard to injuries. If it turns out that some chump on a 6-4 team left his stuff in a room by accident and someone else found it, I will be hugely disappointed.

There's too much hacking going on these days in our cybercentric world. These are unsettling times in America and we need football more than ever to get us back to good old-fashioned theft, and what better place to start than middling ACC football?
