The Cardinals won their fourth consecutive game and reached the six-win threshold

Tre Richardson had a standout performance as he amassed 101 all-purpose yards, including two touchdowns, leading Louisville to a 44-17 victory over Georgia Tech at Bobby Dodd Stadium. This marked the Cardinals' fourth consecutive win, securing their sixth consecutive bowl eligibility. Quarterback Lincoln Kienholz contributed significantly with a first-half touchdown pass to Richardson and TreyShun Hurry, complementing his 182 passing yards and 81 rushing yards in the game.

Richardson also broke away for a 52-yard touchdown run in the run game, while running back Isaac Brown reached the 10-touchdown milestone of the season with an 11-yard scoring run in the third quarter. Louisville has maintained a strong offense throughout the season, scoring at least 34 points in their last four games and at least 27 in all nine contests.

Georgia Tech, on the other hand, suffered their third consecutive loss, effectively guaranteeing that they will finish the season with a losing record for the first time since 2022. Louisville remains competitive in the ACC championship race, currently trailing No. 1 Miami and No. 14 Wake Forest by just one loss each. If Wake Forest falters in their remaining games, Louisville could join a group of teams with two conference losses, including SMU, Duke, and Clemson.

For Georgia Tech, head coach Brent Key attempted to revitalize the offense by rotating quarterbacks during the first half, with Albert Mendoza initially taking the field and later being substituted by backup Grady Adamson. Both quarterbacks managed to throw touchdowns, but struggled overall. Louisville will head to North Carolina for their next game, while Georgia Tech will travel to Clemson.
