21. Northern Illinois Huskies

Louisville has only faces the Northern Illinois Huskies a total of three times, not to mention, they haven’t even played in 20 years. In all three games, the Cardinals dominated the Huskies, where NIU’s closest loss to Louisville was a 34-21 game in 1995.

Here are some of the series stats, according to Sports Reference:

"Longest winning streak by Louisville: 3 games Most points scored by Louisville: 38 (Sep 10, 1977) Most points scored by Northern Illinois: 21 (Sep 9, 1995) Largest margin of victory by Louisville: +38 (Sep 10, 1977)"

Again, it’s been a while and I don’t see why these two teams would meet up in the forseeable future either.
