Louisville heads into Atlanta on Saturday holding a 5-3 overall record and a 4-2 mark in Atlantic Coast Conference play, facing a Georgia Tech squad searching for answers at 2-6 overall and 1-4 in the conference. The Cardinals travel to Bobby Dodd Stadium.
The visiting Cardinals enter the game as 14.5-point favorites, backed by an explosive offense that leads the Football Bowl Subdivision in plays from scrimmage of 20 yards or more. Jeff Brohm’s team sits second nationally in rushing, averaging 225.1 yards per game on the ground with 29 rushing touchdowns. Louisville has scored at least 27 points in every game this season, joining Miami, Ole Miss, and Boise State as the only FBS programs to accomplish the feat.
For Georgia Tech, the season has taken a difficult turn following a strong campaign last year under head coach Brent Key. The Yellow Jackets are looking to avoid their first four-game losing streak since 2021, having dropped their last three outings while giving up at least 34 points in all three defeats. The team’s offensive struggles have been compounded by a high-profile quarterback transition, with junior Alberto Mendoza managing a tough stretch under center.
On the defensive side, Georgia Tech must cope with various changes, leaving E.J. Lightsey and Cayman Spaulding to anchor the middle of the unit.
Saturday’s contest marks the fifth night game of the season for Georgia Tech and carries significant milestone potential for the visitors. A victory would secure the 100th head coaching win for Jeff Brohm and make the Cardinals bowl-eligible for the sixth consecutive season. The all-time series between the two programs stands tied at 2-2, with Louisville claiming a 31-19 victory in their last meeting on September 21, 2024.
