Louisville Hosts Stanford in ACC Showdown

No. 22 Louisville (6-3, 4-2 ACC) is set to face Stanford (2-7, 1-5) after a bye week, following a crucial win against Clemson that keeps their hopes alive for a share of the ACC title. Louisville has received positive news on the injury front with linebacker/safety Benjamin Perry cleared to play, while running back Maurice Turner is expected to return. In contrast, Stanford is struggling with injuries and has lost six straight games, eliminating them from bowl contention. Louisville's defense has shown improvement recently, limiting opponents' yardage and points, while their offense has been potent, scoring 30 or more points in six games this season. The matchup is significant as Louisville seeks its first win on the West Coast, having previously struggled in such games. Both teams are looking to solidify their respective seasons, with Stanford aiming to compete fiercely despite their struggles.
