The Louisville Cardinals will head out on the road to face off against the Pittsburgh Panthers at 6:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Acrisure Stadium. Louisville is currently enjoying a perfect season and no doubt want to keep things rolling.
Last Saturday, Louisville's game was all tied up 7-7 at the half, but luckily for them it didn't stay that way. They came out on top against Notre Dame by a score of 33-20.
Among those leading the charge was Jawhar Jordan, who rushed for 143 yards and two touchdowns. While his performance might not make the highlight reel, Brock Travelstead loomed large in the final result, having booted in four field goals and three extra points.
Meanwhile, Pittsburgh's recent rough patch got a bit rougher two Saturdays ago after their fourth straight loss. They received a tough blow as they fell 38-21 to Virginia Tech. Pittsburgh didn't live up to their potential and found themselves falling short of the advantage oddsmakers thought they had coming into the game.
The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was C'Bo Flemister, who gained 98 total yards and a touchdown. He was no stranger to the big play, cutting upfield for a catch that went for 61 yards.
Louisville's win lifted them to 6-0 while Pittsburgh's defeat dropped them down to 1-4.
Looking ahead, Louisville is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by eight points.
Louisville steamrolled past Pittsburgh in their previous meeting back in October of 2022 by a score of 24-10. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Pittsburgh's Israel Abanikanda, who rushed for 129 yards and a touchdown. Now that he won't be playing on Saturday, will it be that much easier for Louisville to walk away with another win? Check CBSSports.com after the match to find out.
