How to Watch

If you are looking for the game on cable television, you are out of luck. Unfortunately, this game will not be televised in a traditional sense.

Fortunately, the game will be on Stadium, an internet sports network that you can stream online or on their app.

The easiest way for Cards fans to access Stadium is going to be to download the Pluto App.

Pluto TV is a watch-free app that is available on nearly every streaming service. If you have an Amazon Firestick, AppleTV, Roku, or any similar streaming service, you can download the Pluto app for free.

Once you have downloaded Pluto TV, you will only have a select number of channels. You will need to find the channel that instructs you to set up the app, and using a secondary device (phone, laptop, etc.) go to Pluto.tv/activate and put in the code you are given on-screen.

Once you put in your code, you will have access to over 100 free channels on Pluto, but again for the purposes of watching this game, you want to find the Stadium channel.

When you initially enter the app, your channels will be organized by genre. Simply scroll down to Sports, and you will be able to access Stadium TV from there.

What to Watch for

  • Our Will Reddington breaks down the five most important players to watch entering Saturday’s slate.
  • Louisville has a clean bill of health thus far, but things could be shaken up on Saturday, as the Cards’ Jawon Pass is being rumored to be playing through an injury. 
  • Recruiting is still on the rise for the new coaching staff. Can the Cards snag another commitment after the game?
  • How can the Cards take advantage of WKU’s weaknesses? It starts in the passing game, where the Tops are one of the worst teams in the country.
  • Inversely, Western Kentucky will bring a tough run defense. Can the Cards continue their hot streak on the ground?

Lastly, WKU’s mascot, Big Red, is the most overrated mascot in college football.

Big Red Louie > Big Red. Go Cards!
