The team had been outscored 150-17 in their last three road contests and matched that tally in the first half against Louisville. Prior to Saturday, Stanford averaged 5.8 points and 212 yards per game on the road, but their performance against the Cardinals was a stark contrast.
They scored just 17 points in their previous three away games, but surpassed that total in this match. Louisville's coach, Jeff Brohm, improved to a 5-1 record following a bye week. Unfortunately, Louisville faced a setback as leading wide receiver Lawayne McCoy is sidelined for an "extended time" due to a knee injury. McCoy had been a beacon of strength, catching 25 passes for 513 yards and scoring four touchdowns in the Cardinals' first seven games.
Louisville sits at fourth in the nation in average yards per carry, registering 5.9 yards per attempt. However, on Saturday, they struggled with just nine yards per carry. Louisville's next challenge awaits as they travel to face Georgia Tech next Saturday. On the Stanford side, they are set to take on Virginia Tech on November 14.
