Louisville has played its way into the ACC title and subsequently, the College Football Playoff conversation. The Cardinals enter Week 11 at No. 15, hosting unranked Cal in conference play and needing to hold serve with Georgia Tech, Pitt, and SMU behind unbeaten Virginia at the top of the ACC. However, they’ll have to do it without their best offensive player.Â
Sophomore running back Isaac Brown was limited through much of the early season, but he will miss his first game of the year on Saturday at L&N Stadium. Brown has been ruled out by head coach Jeff Brohm.
