A scary opponent for the University of Louisville football team on a pre-Halloween weekend, facing the best Duke football team in decades. The Blue Devils fifth in the nation defensively against a strong schedule, allowing the opposition only 13.8 points per game. Winner of five of its first seven games, ranked 20th in the latest Associated Press poll.
UofL still haunted by a 17-point loss, its only loss of the season, two weeks ago to Pittsburgh. The doubters pointing to a weak schedule, suggesting that the Cardinals were the beneficiaries of a weak schedule. Maybe the No. 18 ranking was a bit too generous for Louisville?
