After an extra week for both teams to get healthy, the Virginia Cavaliers and Louisville Cardinals will finally play this week. Probably. We hope. This is now the fourth time the Hoos have had their schedule changed due to opponents’ COVID-19 situations. The bye week was unexpected, but not unwelcome as the Hoos were beaten up, especially on defense.
The Cardinals opened the season with a win over Western Kentucky and then fell in four straight ACC games, including a blowout loss to Georgia Tech. They appeared to be on the rebound by taking Notre Dame to the final whistle and crushing FSU.
