LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Despite the fact that the Louisville football program has still yet to take a loss one month into the season, they continue to be on the outside looking in of the Associated Press Top 25 Poll.

The Cardinals (4-0, 1-0 ACC) garnered 38 points in week six of the AP Top 25, remaining in the "others receiving votes" section. Louisville has received votes in every AP Poll released so far this season, but have yet to crack the top-25.

Louisville didn't exactly start their matchup at Pitt on a strong note, falling 17-0 in the first quarter. However, they put together a much better showing in the second half, eventually ending the game on a 34-10 run to capture a 34-27 win and remain undefeated. QB Miller Moss threw for 339 yards and three touchdowns, while the Cardinals' defense forced four turnovers.

Next up, Louisville returns to L&N Stadium to take on No. 24 Virginia in their first home ACC game of the season. Kickoff against the Cavaliers is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 4 at 3:30 p.m. EST.
