Match updates, week 8 live score

The Cardinals will look to use a last-second win over Virginia as momentum to defeat Heisman Trophy hopeful Cam Ward and the undefeated Hurricanes. U of L beat Miami 38-31 last year.

After two missteps, Louisville made corrections offensively and defensively against Virginia and will look to take another step this week.

Tyler Shough's 4-yard TD pass to Duke Watson clinched the game-winning drive, completing the Cardinals' 13-play, 75-yard drive.

Isaiah Horton caught a 2-yard touchdown pass from Cam Ward to give the Canes the lead again. The drive sparked a cascade of boos as U of L's Ashton Gillotte appeared to be pinned, allowing Ward to throw a 63-yard pass to Xavier Restrepo to set up Miami inside the U of L 5.

Ja'Corey Brooks caught a 21-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Shough to help U of L erase a 14-yard deficit in less than 90 seconds.

Caullin Lacy returned a kick 100 yards for a touchdown as the Cards quickly responded to the Canes' score. It is the 11th time in school history and the first since Jahwar Jordan faced Air Force in the First Responders Bowl in 2021.

Miami's Cam Ward connected with Xavier Restrepo on a 9-yard touchdown pass on the first drive of the second half, marking the first time all season that the U of L defense allowed a touchdown in the third quarter.

According to Louisville Sports Network, Louisville tight end Jamari Johnson is unlikely to return for the game against Miami after suffering a right lower leg injury late in the second quarter. The redshirt freshman had 18 yards on two catches and had just scored an 11-yard grab when he was injured and had to be helped off the field.

Brock Travelstead kicked a 22-yard field goal as the first half expired. The Cards covered 65 yards in 54 seconds and took Duke Watson over the goal line with a 26-yard run to the Miami 5. But with just three seconds left, U of L opted for a kick instead of attempting a touchdown.

Miami linebacker Raul Aguirre Jr. recovered a fumble by Isaac Brown in the end zone for a touchdown. The Cards were backed up to their own 3 after Josh Minkins denied a penalty on a punt and Caullin Lacy returned to the 29.

Tyler Shough completed a 3-yard touchdown pass to tight end Mark Redman, capping a 75-yard drive.

Samuel Brown caught a 49-yard touchdown pass from Cam Ward on the second play of the second quarter to give the Canes a two-score lead.

Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward connected with Jacolby George on a 27-yard touchdown pass to cap off a five-play, 70-yard drive.

After Isaac Brown's touchdown, Louisville honored former Cardinal quarterback Teddy Bridgewater's No. 5 jersey.

Freshman running back Isaac Brown responded to Miami's score with a 43-yard touchdown run to give the Cards the lead.

Hurricanes kicker Andres Borregales hits a 55-yard field goal, ending the first drive of the game.

Scottie Scheffler took a swipe at the city of Louisville during his appearance as a featured guest picker on ESPN's “College GameDay” on Saturday.

“I don’t want to bring anything personal into it with Louisville,” said Scheffler, “Great city, I love the people, but Miami will smoke them.”

Miami 38, Louisville 31. This has the makings of an offensive showdown between two of the ACC's five highest-scoring offenses. Although U of L shows improvement in defending mobile quarterbacks, Miami quarterback Cam Ward will be too much for the Cardinals, leading to Louisville's second ACC loss.
