FIVE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW
1. The University of Louisville football team enters Saturday's game versus Florida State riding an eight-game league losing streak. Louisville went winless in the league for the first time in school history. The last league win was a 56-10 victory over Syracuse at home on Nov. 18, 2017. Florida State owns a 15-4 all-time series advantage over the Cardinals, with the teams splitting the last six encounters. The Seminoles won the last game 28-24 in Louisville, while the Cardinals look for their second-straight win in Tallahassee after a 31-28 victory in 2017.
2. The Cardinals open Atlantic Coast Conference play looking to stop an eight-game ACC losing streak. Louisville went 0-8 in the league last season, and is looking for its first conference victory since a 56-10 victory over Syracuse on Nov. 18, 2017.
3. Sitting at 2--1, the Cardinals are looking for their first three-game winning streak since capturing three-consecutive wins to close the 2017 regular season.
The Cardinals are averaging 40.0 points per game in their last two victories, scoring 38 points last weekend against Western Kentucky and 42 against Eastern Kentucky on Sept. 7. Through three games, the Cardinals are averaging 32.3 points per game.
4. Defensively, the Cardinals have been stellar in the last two victories, holding the opposition to under 300 yards of total offense. Western Kentucky was limited to 288 yards of offense, totaling just 43 yards on the ground. Louisville is allowing just 125.0 yards on the ground through three games.
5. Javian Hawkins continues to spark the Louisville running game that has rushed for for 200 yards in each of the first three games. The Titusville, Fla., native has totaled 338 yards in the first three contests and scored his first career touchdown with a 20-yard run versus Western Kentucky last Saturday.
