LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The Louisville football program is coming off of a bye week, and has some momentum heading into the final segment of the 2024 season. They were able to mount a 20-point comeback at Boston College, and mostly recently toppled Clemson at Death Valley.

Next up on the docket, Louisville is staying on the road, heading out west for a matchup with ACC newcomer Stanford. Kickoff against the Cardinal is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 16 at 3:30 p.m. EST.

We still have a few days until the Cardinals do battle against the Cardinal, but thanks to the video game 'EA Sports College Football 25,' we have some idea of how the contest might pan out.

In our CFB25 Preview Series during the preseason, Louisville suffered a stunning 52-27 blowout loss to Stanford. Since then, the ratings for both sides have been slightly adjusted from what they were on launch day.
