UofL Football Beats #2 Miami

By Conner Mackowiak | October 23, 2025 | Comments 0 Comment

Of the four seasons, fall is arguably the best for sports fans. Playoff baseball, the start of college and professional football, and the start of basketball and hockey season respectively. The University of Louisville has plenty to celebrate this football season; your UofL Cardinals beat the University of Miami, the #2 team in the country last week!

As a result of the win, Miami dropped to #9, and Louisville broke the top 25, earning a ranking #19 according to AP. Miami’s Heisman-candidate quarterback Carson Beck threw 4 interceptions as the Cardinal defense stifled a highly ranked Miami offense. Louisville’s only loss of the season was a 30-27 loss to University of Virginia, and next play Boston College this weekend.
