Louisville gets a chance tonight to keep its season moving in the right direction, and the setup is simple: beat Georgia Tech in Atlanta and the Cardinals can lock up bowl eligibility while staying in the mix for the ACC championship game.
The matchup kicks off the final month of the college football regular season at Bobby Dodd Stadium, where Louisville will try to do something it has never done before - win on Georgia Tech’s home field. The Cardinals have taken the last two meetings overall, including a 31-19 win in 2024 at L&N Stadium. Their only previous road trip to Georgia Tech ended in a 46-27 loss in 2020.
Georgia Tech comes in with its own pressure. The Yellow Jackets need a win in Week 10 to keep their bowl hopes alive, while Louisville can reach bowl eligibility and keep alive its slim shot at a fourth straight nine-win season.
The game will air nationally on ACC Network, with Wes Durham and Max Browne on the call from Bobby Dodd Stadium and Madison Fitzpatrick reporting from the sideline. Streaming options include ESPN+, which requires a subscription, and Fubo, which offers a free trial to new subscribers.
Louisville and Georgia Tech are set for a 7:30 p.m. start on Nov. 7.
Odds courtesy of Bet MGM, as of Friday, Nov. 6.
Louisville 48, Georgia Tech 24. The Cardinals' offense is on a roll that will continue as they get their first-ever win on the Yellow Jackets' home field and start November with a victory.
