Louisville is seeking to go 3-0 for the first time since 2006. This will be a tougher test than Missouri State (35-7) win or probably Kentucky (32-14). The Heels are coming off a 28-27 loss at Wake Forest in their conference opener. QB Teddy Bridgewater has been outstanding for the Cards, completing 82% of his passes, throwing for 576 yards. North Carolina goes into this game with questions at running back as RB Giovani Bernard (knee), though he’s expected to play. Louisville is looking for revenge as they’ve plastered the 14-7 score all over their complex as more motivation.
