What seemed impossible a month ago is now very much in the cards.

Louisville football needs one win to reach a bowl game for the second year in a row. Can coach Scott Satterfield and the Cardinals (5-3, 3-3 ACC) clinch it Saturday night against Football Bowl Subdivision newcomer and upstart James Madison (5-2, 3-2 Sunbelt)?

U of L welcomes the Dukes to Cardinal Stadium for the first time. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. The Cardinals are winners of four straight, having dismantled Wake Forest last week, after a disastrous September left them winless in ACC play and 1-3 overall. JMU lost last week 26-12 to Marshall.
