Louisville Hosts No. 24 Virginia Saturday

Louisville will host No. 24 Virginia on Saturday in an ACC matchup previewed by U of L writer Alexis Cubit. Virginia (4-1) entered the AP Top 25 at No. 24 after a 48-46 double-overtime upset of No. 8 Florida State and will try to carry that momentum on the road. Louisville is 4-0, leads the all-time series 8-5 (5-1 at home), averages 409.2 yards and 38.3 points per game, and fields a defense ranked 18th nationally that excels at forcing turnovers while allowing 268.2 yards per game.
