After a thrilling 42-34 double overtime win over California at Lane Stadium last Friday night, the Virginia Tech football team will face a much tougher ACC opponent when Louisville visits on Saturday afternoon. The Cardinals are coming in off a 38-24 win at home over Boston College on Saturday night in a game that was a lot closer than it should have been.
Jeff Brohm has Louisville playing its best football of the season as they knocked off then-No. 2 Miami in South Florida two weeks ago. They still have work to do in terms of getting to the ACC Championship Game in December in Charlotte, as they suffered their only loss of the season earlier this year at home in overtime to Virginia.
Louisville has a high-powered offense led by USC transfer quarterback Miller Moss and an explosive running back Isaac Brown. The Cardinals have averaged 24 points a game on the road this year and pose a daunting task for Sam Sifekes' defense this weekend.

Virginia Tech vs. Louisville: History
This will be the 10th all-time matchup between the Hokies and Cardinals, with the Hokies holding a 6-3 edge. Louisville has visited Lane Stadium three times, with Virginia Tech winning each game. The last time the two teams met was two years ago in early November, when the ACC race was tight, when the Cardinals routed the Hokies at home. Louisville went to the ACC title game that year only to come up short against Florida State.
