Louisville vs UCF: Live college football updates, score, video highlights from Orlando
Louisville #Louisville
It’s an understatement to say last Saturday’s defeat to Syracuse wasn’t the start the Louisville football team, or its fans, had hoped for in 2022.
But that was last week. Today’s game at the University of Central Florida brings new hope for a better outcome. Of course, there will be challenges.
The uptempo UCF offense is led by Ole Miss transfer John Rhys Plumlee, who had 308 yards and four touchdowns on 20-of-31 passing in a 56-10 win over South Carolina State in Week 1. UCF’s defense also presents problems with all five of its starters from the secondary back this season.
Last season, the Cards took down Central Florida, 42-35. However, going into this year’s game, Louisville is a 5.5-point underdog.
The Courier Journal U of L beat writer @Alexis_Cubit will have complete in-game and postgame coverage of the game. In the meantime, you can follow along with all the in-game developments right here.
