LOUISVILLE LOOKS TO KEEP ROLLING AGAINST STANFORD

LOUISVILLE, KY. The Louisville Cardinals are back from their bye week and ready to get back on the field. Louisville welcomes Stanford to L&N Federal Credit Union Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 31, with kickoff set for 3:15 p.m. ET on the ACC Network.

The Cards enter the matchup at 4-3 overall and 3-2 in ACC play, sitting fourth in the conference standings. They have won two straight, including a 44-20 win over Florida State and a 34-26 road victory over Syracuse.

Quarterback Lincoln Kienholz is coming off a big performance against Syracuse, throwing for 310 yards and a touchdown while adding 53 rushing yards and two rushing scores. Isaac Brown also made noise with a 46-yard touchdown catch, while Lawayne McCoy led the receivers with 93 yards.

The defense has been making plays, too. Louisville recorded five sacks and two interceptions against Syracuse, helping the Cards close out the win. Keeping that pressure on Stanford and limiting big plays will be important this weekend.

Stanford enters at 4-4 overall and 2-3 in ACC play after a 31-28 win over NC State. Louisville cannot afford to overlook the Cardinal with a tough stretch ahead. The Cards travel to Georgia Tech and North Carolina next, then host Pitt before closing the regular season against Kentucky.

A win at home would help Louisville build momentum as it pushes up the ACC standings and keeps its hopes of breaking into the national rankings alive.

The Stable wishes Louisville the best as the Cards get ready for Stanford. Kickoff is set for 3:15 p.m. ET on Saturday, Oct. 31.
