What a hard-fought, gritty win for this Louisville football squad. Coach Jeff Brohm and the No. 16 Louisville Cardinals won on the road in a challenging environment, improving to 7-1 on the season and 4-1 in conference play. It was a tale of two completely different halves for the Cardinals,, with struggles persisting in the first half, but they threw a shutout in the second half. When this Cardinal team faced adversity, they did not panic; instead, they played their hearts out in the second half and pulled off an incredible comeback.
Louisville’s path to the ACC title game and the College Football Playoff continues to lie in its own hands, with some minor help needed by others against Georgia Tech and Virginia. As the Cardinals continue to accumulate wins, their stock rises, and their chances of a postseason opportunity increase. Sure, the Virginia loss still haunts at the current moment, but how can you not be proud of this Cardinal crew and the success they continue to have week after week?
It continues to be a season to remember for the Cardinals, but for now, let’s reflect on the Cardinals' powerful comeback against the Hokies.
