We take a look at three Louisville Football players that had great performances against Virginia and three players that did not.

It was a crazy weekend of college football that saw three teams in the top ten go down. Fortunately for Cardinals’ fans, one of those teams was not Louisville Football. However, it’s not like they walked away from the game without a fight.

Virginia was only a two-win football team going into the match-up with the fifth-ranked Cardinals. The Cavaliers tested Louisville like only a few teams have this season. Actually, they were only the second team to be beating the Cards at halftime. The only other team was Clemson and Louisville ended up losing that game on the road.

Luckily for Louisville, they were able to grind it out and find a way to win.

However, it wasn’t like they were the only team that was tested over the weekend. Michigan had a close game with Michigan State, Ohio State barely beat Northwestern, and Washington barely knocked off Utah. The underdogs definitely came to play on Saturday.

When the dust settled, the top six teams stayed in the same order.

With that being said, there were three Cardinals that played great and three Cardinals that didn’t against Virginia. Here are those players:
