Football (2-9, 0-8) extended their losing streak to eight games by falling to conference foe NC State (8-3, 5-3). The 52-10 defeat continues the disappointing narrative for Louisville, despite a slight increase in positivity following the termination of head coach Bobby Petrino.
Their loss to the Wolfpack makes U of L the first ACC team to post a winless season since Boston College in 2015, and gives the Cardinals their first winless conference season since 1997. With no shot at a bowl game, they are playing for game-time experience this point in the season.
