LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) Louisville players know their current surge toward a postseason bid could be derailed by a setback against a desperate Virginia team.
The Cardinals learned that the hard way last season in Charlottesville against the Cavaliers, who converted a late fumbled punt into the game-winning field goal and a 23-21 upset victory that still resonates.
With Louisville (5-4, 4-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) on the cusp of bowl eligibility, the Cardinals are determined to leave nothing to chance against Virginia (3-6, 2-3) in Saturday's home finale. And coming off their best win this season against Syracuse, they certainly don't want a letdown.
