Records: Stanford (2-7, 1-5 ACC); Louisville (6-3, 4-2 ACC)

Kickoff: 12:30 p.m., Stanford Stadium

TV: ACC Network

Radio: 1050 AM

Series history: This is the fourth time this season that Stanford will be playing an opponent for the first time (Cal Poly, Syracuse, N.C. State). Louisville’s only previous regular-season game in California was at San Jose State in 1990.

Stanford storylines: After six straight losses – five by at least 24 points – the Cardinal hope to finish strong after the bye week in its final home game, or at least regain some momentum with the Big Game on deck. ... Junior Ashton Daniels tied the school record for rushing yards by a QB with 129 yards on 11 carries in the team’s previous game, a 59-28 loss at North Carolina State. ... David Bailey, who ranks as the top-rated edge rusher in the NCAA by Pro Football Focus with an overall pass-rush grade of 93.0, is eligible to play after being ejected from Stanford’s last game for stomping on an opponent.

Louisville storylines: The Cardinals might be better than their record indicates — all of their losses have come by seven points against Top 15 teams (SMU, Notre Dame, Miami). In their last game, the Cardinals snapped Clemson’s 11-year, 22-game winning streak in home night games. They have won four straight ACC road games behind a high-powered offense that is second in the country with 18 plays of 30 or more yards. Louisville seventh-year QB Tyler Shough beat Stanford in the 2020 season opener when he was at Oregon.

Stats that matter: Stanford has lost 12 straight home games against FBS opponents. … Louisville running back Isaac Brown is second nationally in rushing yards by a freshman (800). The only freshman in Louisville history with more is Lamar Jackson (960). … Stanford has 18 turnovers, tied for ninth-worst in the country… The Cardinals are eighth in the country in yards per play (6.9). … Shough has thrown 70 straight passes without being sacked.
