Reid Ruled Out as Louisville Visits Pitt

Louisville (3-0) travels to Acrisure Stadium on Saturday for its ACC opener against Pitt in the 22nd meeting between the programs, with Pitt leading the series 11–10 and Louisville listed as a 4.5-point favorite. Pitt has ruled starting all-purpose back Desmond Reid out (Rashan Murray also out); Juelz Goff is expected to start with true freshman Ja’Kyrian Turner as his backup, and several Panthers (including Jayden Bonsu and Jeremiah Marcelin) are sidelined or limited. Louisville will be without Keyjuan Brown, Jamarice Wilder and corner Rodney Johnson, while starters Isaac Brown and Duke Watson are game-time decisions who are expected to play. QB Miller Moss has been generally solid despite not throwing a touchdown last week, and coach Jeff Brohm expects improvement on the road. Louisville also shuffled its offensive-line depth chart ahead of the trip. The matchup will hinge on how both teams cope with injuries and whether the Cardinals can win on the road against a power-conference opponent.
