During the game:
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Louisville will make the ACC championship game if it beats Miami at Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday.
The ninth-ranked Cardinals are currently second in the ACC standings and will face fourth-ranked Florida State for the league title on Dec. 2 at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, if they win. The challenge: Louisville has never won on the road at Miami and has only beaten the Hurricanes three times in the series. The Cardinals have also had road woes this season, but they're 3-1 away from L&N Stadium.
Miami returns home after losing back-to-back road games against N.C. State and the Seminoles.
