Louisville-Virginia football game postponed to Nov. 14 due to coronavirus outbreak

Louisville has paused all football-related activities, and its game at Virginia set for Saturday is being moved to Nov. 14 after a coronavirus outbreak has impacted the Cardinals, the ACC announced Wednesday night.

Both teams had an open date next weekend, allowing the game to be moved without further scheduling disruption.

Fifteen members of the Cardinals tested positive for the virus, including 10 players and five members of the support staff, and seven others are in quarantine. No coaches are positive or in quarantine.

On Friday, multiple players on Louisville's defensive line either tested positive or went into contact trace quarantine.
