The victory, Louisville's (6-3, 5-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), fourth in a row, clinched bowl eligibility for the sixth consecutive season. Quarterback Lincoln Kienholz completed first half touchdown passes to Tre Richardson and TreyShun Hurry, part of an efficient 17 of 25 passing performance with 182 passing yards and 81 rushing yards. Richardson added another score in the run game when he took an end around 52 yards to the end zone, and running back Isaac Brown picked up his 10th touchdown of the season on an 11-yard third quarter run. Louisville has scored at least 34 points in all four games during its winning streak and at least 27 in all nine games this season. Georgia Tech (2-7, 1-5) lost its third consecutive game, and is officially guaranteed to finish below .500 for the first time since 2022.

The takeaway Louisville: The Cardinals kept pace in the ACC championship race. No. 1 Miami and No. 14 Wake Forest currently occupy the two spots for the ACC championship game, but the Cardinals stayed within one game in the loss column of Wake Forest. If the Demon Deacons slip over the final three weeks, Louisville is in a pack of teams with two conference losses alongside SMU, Duke and Clemson. Georgia Tech: In a desperate attempt to jump start the offense, head coach Brent Key alternated quarterbacks for the first half. Regular starter Alberto Mendoza got the initial nod, but from there he swapped out every drive with back-up Grady Adamson. Both quarterbacks threw a touchdown pass, but struggled for most of the night.
