American college football season
The 2023 Louisville Cardinals football team represented University of Louisville as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) during the 2023 NCAA Division I FBS football season . The Cardinals were led by first-year head coach Jeff Brohm and played home games at the L&N Stadium in Louisville, Kentucky .
This was the first season of the ACC without divisions. In this system, the two teams with the highest conference winning percentage are chosen to play in the ACC Championship Game .[ 1]
The Cardinals began the season 6–0. This streak was capped off by a win at home in front of a record crowd over top 10 Notre Dame .[ 2]
With a win over Miami on the road, Louisville clinched a spot in the 2024 ACC Championship Game . In its first appearance in program history, Louisville lost to Florida State 16–6.[ 3] [ 4]
The Cards ended the season in the 2023 Holiday Bowl against the USC Trojans , where they lost 28–42. Louisville finished the season with three straight loses to end the season with a 10–4 record.[ 5]
Players leaving for NFL [ edit ] Louisville had three players chosen in the 2023 NFL draft . Three other players were signed as undrafted free agents.
Undrafted free agents [ edit ] Louisville and the ACC announced the 2023 football schedule on January 30, 2023.[ 7] [ 8] 2004 without division scheduling. The new format sets Louisville with three set conference opponents, while playing the remaining ten teams twice (home and away) in a four–year cycle. The Cardinals three set conference opponents for the next four years are Georgia Tech , Miami (FL) , and Virginia .[ 9] [ 10]
