The Cardinals began the season 4–0 for the first time since 2023. The win streak was capped by a comeback win over Pittsburgh where the Cards went down by 17, tied the game up, and then fell back down by 10. Louisville outscored Pitt 17–0 in the second half.

Louisville fell to 4–1 after an overtime loss to Virginia 30–27. The Louisville defense held the Virginia offense to 10 points in regulation, but gave up two touchdowns on offense from a pick-6 and a scoop-and-score. This was Louisville's first overtime game since a win over Cincinnati in 2013.

Unranked Louisville went on the road and upset undefeated #2 Miami, snapping a 10-game home winning streak and giving the Canes their first home loss since Louisville beat them in 2023. Louisville's defense held Miami to 63 rushing yards and forced 4 interceptions from Carson Beck, including a game sealing pick in the final minute by T.J. Capers. Chris Bell finished with 136 yards and 2 touchdowns. The Cards won their first ever road game over a top 5 opponent.

After starting the season 7–1, Louisville lost 3 straight to Cal, Clemson, and at SMU. The Cards limped into their final game against rival Kentucky with multiple players out including WR Chris Bell and RBs Isaac Brown, Duke Watson, and Keyjuan Brown. Despite being shorthanded, the Cards dominated the Wildcats in a shutout and won 41–0. Walk-on freshman RB Braxton Jennings and redshirt freshman RB Shaun Boykins Jr. combined for 42 carries and 258 yards, and a touchdown.

Offseason

Personnel

In June, Louisville hired Vince Marrow in an off-field role as the Executive Director of Player Personnel and Recruiting. The position is expected to handle roster management, recruiting, and the transfer portal. Marrow was hired away from rival Kentucky where he was a long time assistant coach and recruiter. In his time at Kentucky, he was regarded as one of the top recruiters in the country.
