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.

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.
Virginia, Virginia Tech, and Miami are all going to be better, but that’s a run of three straight games against teams that didn’t go bowling last year. In all, just five teams on the slate went to bowl games and Notre Dame and Kentucky are coming to Cardinal Stadium.
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.
