Louisville Faces Hostile NC State Crowd
3 Oct
Summary
- Louisville prepares for a loud NC State home crowd.
- Key players Lincoln Kienholz and Koen Entringer are game-time decisions.
- Two Louisville players are ineligible due to a court decision.
The Louisville Cardinals are set to face the NC State Wolfpack in an ACC road game today, October 3rd. Coach Dave Doeren of NC State has urged fans to create a loud atmosphere at Carter-Finley Stadium, prompting Louisville to simulate crowd noise during their practices throughout the week.
Louisville is also focusing on improving its defensive performance, particularly against the run and preventing big plays in the passing game. Coach Jeff Brohm emphasized the need for greater consistency in these areas. NC State's offense, led by quarterback CJ Bailey, has been potent, averaging 38.3 points and 451.8 total yards per game.
Several key personnel updates affect the Cardinals. Quarterback Lincoln Kienholz and safety Koen Entringer are considered game-time decisions. Additionally, cornerback Jabari Mack and linebacker Kalib Perry have been ruled out for the game due to a dissolved court order that had previously made them eligible. Injuries also impact other positions, with several players listed as probable, questionable, or out.
Predictions for the game vary among reporters, with most favoring Louisville. The game is scheduled to be broadcast on the ACC Network and streamed on ESPN+.
