Louisville vs. Virginia Tech Live updates Score, results, highlights, for Saturday's NCAA Football game
Live scores, highlights and updates from the Louisville vs. Virginia Tech football game
The Louisville Cardinals will be playing at home against the Virginia Tech Hokies at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at L&N Federal Credit Union Stadium. Louisville will be looking to keep their nine-game home win streak (dating back to last season) alive.
Louisville put the finishing touches on their third blowout victory of the season on Saturday. They put the hurt on Duke with a sharp 23-0 win. The score at the end of the third wound up being the final score as Louisville just coasted through the last quarter.
Jawhar Jordan got back to being his usual excellent self, as he rushed for 163 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.8 yards per carry. Brock Travelstead did his part by putting the 'special' in special teams, booting in three field goals and two extra points.
The team's defense also helped out by holding Duke to a paltry 202 yards. A big part of that defensive dominance came down to Louisville's ability to keep the quarterback under pressure: the team laid him out four times before it was all said and done. Duke's QB won't forget Ashton Gillotte anytime soon given Gillotte sacked him four times.
Virginia Tech fell on hard times earlier this season, but after back-to-back wins it seems like their luck might finally be changing. They steamrolled past Syracuse 38-10 at home. The oddsmakers were on Virginia Tech's side, but they didn't give the squad enough credit as the margin was unexpectedly wide.
Virginia Tech's win on Thursday was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Kyron Drones, who threw for 194 yards and a touchdown. The team also got some help courtesy of Bhayshul Tuten, who rushed for 118 yards and a touchdown.
Louisville's victory bumped their record up to 7-1. As for Virginia Tech, the win got them back to even at 4-4.
Virginia Tech is hoping to beat the odds on Saturday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. They might be worth a quick bet since they've covered the spread the last four times they've played.
Saturday's contest might be decided on the ground as these two are both standouts in the run game. The Cardinals have been excellent on the ground this season, having averaged 185.2 rushing yards per game. However, it's not like the Hokies struggle in that department as they've been averaging 162.5 per game. It's looking like Saturday's match might have some serious battles in the trenches.
