Louisville football defeated Georgia Tech 44-17 on Saturday, November 7, in a win that gave head coach Jeff Brohm his 100th career victory. The result extended Louisville's winning streak to four games and secured bowl eligibility.
Why it matters
The win caps a turnaround from a 2-3 start, the worst of Brohm's tenure at Louisville since he took the job in 2023. It keeps Louisville in contention for an ACC championship game berth if it wins out.
Louisville's 44-17 final score produced a 27-point margin over Georgia Tech, and Tre Richardson's 52-yard touchdown run put Louisville up 24-3 in the second quarter. Louisville's 2-3 start was its worst under Brohm, and the four-game winning streak that followed is the basis of its bowl eligibility.
The players
Jeff Brohm
Brohm is Louisville's head football coach, who has built a career around offensive innovation and reached 100 wins across three coaching stops over 13 years.
Tre Richardson
Richardson is a Louisville running back whose 52-yard touchdown run in the second quarter helped build the team's 24-3 lead.
The details
Brohm, who spent 13 years across three coaching stops reaching 100 wins, shifted his own duties after the 2-3 start, spending more time helping the defense and giving up offensive play-calling. He also spread running back reps more broadly, with Keyjuan Brown and Tre Richardson receiving more carries and snaps.

Season Trajectory
Louisville's four-game winning streak after a 2-3 start, its worst under Brohm since 2023, reverses the season's early trend. The result keeps the Cardinals in the ACC race, with a path to the conference championship game if they win out.
Louisville's win secures bowl eligibility, which matters for fans planning the rest of the season. The Week 11 game against North Carolina, which has won only one home game and sits ninth in the ACC, is the next test.
The takeaway
Brohm's 100th win came after a stretch of reshuffled coaching duties, showing that a mid-season change in responsibilities can help turn around a struggling team. Louisville now needs to keep winning to stay in ACC championship contention.
What happens next
Louisville plays North Carolina in Week 11, the next game on the schedule.
