- The meeting with the Cavaliers will be the eighth in the series, with the Cardinals holding a 4-3 series advantage. Louisville is 3-0 against Virginia in Louisville.
- The Cardinals had their two-game winning streak snapped with a 45-10 loss to No. 3 Clemson at Cardinal Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The 10 points were a low in the Scott Satterfield era.
- Clemson outscored the Cardinals 28-7 in the second half, after taking a 17-3 lead at the intermission.
- Entering the game averaging 6.9 yards per play, the Cardinals were held to a season-low 263 yards of total offense and just 4.0 yards per play.
- Running back Javian Hawkins rushed for 129 yards on a career-high 26 carries, to give him 751 yards on the season. Hawkins now has the third-most rushing yards in a season by a
freshman, trailing only Victor Anderson (1,047 in 2008) and Lamar Jackson (960 in 2015).
- Hawkins crossed the 100-yard plateau for the fourth time this season, the third freshman in Louisville history with at least four 100-yard games (Victor Anderson in 2008, Lamar Jackson in 2015 each had five).
- Hawkins snapped a streak of 27 consecutive games for Clemson without allowing a 100-yard rusher.The native of Titusville, Fla., has recorded three-straight 100-yard games at Cardinal Stadium.
Â
- As a kick returner, Hassan Hall recorded 38 yards to move into sixth place in school history with 1,205 yards.
- Placekicker Blanton Creque kicked a 28-yard field goal to improve to 8-of-10 on the season and give him at least one field goal in six of seven games this season.
- Punter Mason King averaged 48.5 yards on his six punts, his highest total of the season. King entered with two punts of more than 50 yards this season before tallying two 59-yard punts on Saturday. Â
- After failing to record an interception over the first four games, the Cardinals have five over the last three games with two more on Saturday. Safeties Russ Yeast and Jack Fagot registered their first career interceptions in the first half.
- Louisville turned the ball over three times — throwing two interceptions and fumbling the ball once in the loss to Clemson.
- Safety Khane Pass finished with seven tackles on Saturday, tying for the team lead. Pass, the team's leading tackler, has 41 tackles over the last four games.
- Defensive tackle Jared Goldwire recorded his second sack of the season in the first quarter. It was just the fifth sack allowed by Clemson in 2019.
- Linebacker Monty Montgomery made the first start of his Louisville career at linebacker starting in place of Dorian Etheridge, who missed the first half due to a targeting call in the Wake Forest game. Montgomery finished with a season-high five stops on the day.
