Louisville vs. Virginia Game Summary

The Louisville Cardinals were able to win despite being outgained on the offensive side of the field. The Cardinals were held to just 3-of-10 on third downs while the Cavaliers were able to extend drives, going 8-of-19 in those situations.

However, the defense for Louisville was able to bend and not break to the point that they were able to keep Virginia out of scoring range for large portions of the game.

Isaac Brown was able to create some running lanes and that helps to open up the passing game as the defense is focused on stacking the box to slow him down. The Cardinals also overcame a missed field goal by Brock Travelstead to win this game. Below is the scoring breakdown throughout the game.
