Louisville Football: 25 programs that have never beat the Cardinals
By Derek Snyder
19. Duke Blue Devils
Yes, Louisville fans, you now have more ammunition whenever you start arguing with a Blue Devils’ fan about who has the better Athletic Department. The Cardinals have never lost to the Blue Devils in the two times they have played eachother. This year’s game was a little closer than anyone would have expected, but the Cards still got the win.
The only other time that they played was in 2002, where Louisville smashed them 40-3 on the road. These two teams will surely face eachother going forward, but that won’t be until it’s time the Blue Devils have made their rotation back around to Louisville’s schedule.
Remember, Duke is in the Coastal division of the ACC, therefore they don’t play eachother each year like they do in basketball.
I actually wish the sports could be reversed where Louisville could play them every season in football. However, I think we are seeing how important strength of schedule is and Duke doesn’t quite give off the high-quality opponent the Cards are looking for.
