Louisville Football Schedule What To Know: Who do the Cardinals miss from the ACC slate?

So who did Louisville send a ballon bouquet to for this ACC schedule?

It has to play Notre Dame as one of the conference-not-conference games, but there’s no Clemson, no Florida State, and no North Carolina or Wake Forest. There’s no Syracuse, either, but all that matters is missing the Tigers and Seminoles – those should be the ACC’s top two teams.

If that wasn’t nice enough, there are only four ACC road games, and …

Louisville Football Schedule What Really Matters

Seriously, could Jeff Brohm be handed a nicer welcoming gift?

Beyond missing a slew of the ACC big guys, there aren’t two road games in a row and there’s just one away date after October 14th.

Louisville Football Schedule What To Know: What does it all really mean?

Eight wins. Start with that with this schedule and hope for more from there.

Okay, so it’s not all as easy as it seems – again, Virginia Tech, Miami, and Virginia won’t be as bad as they were last year – but there isn’t a game on the slate the Cardinals can’t win.
