LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The Louisville football program is riding a wave of momentum right now. This past weekend, they came through when the lights were brightest, knocking No. 2 Miami down in South Florida.

This upcoming week will test their ability to refocus following a massive victory, with Boston College coming to L&N Stadium this weekend, Kickoff is set for Saturday at 7:30 p.m. EST.

As is the nature of football, both teams are dealing with a handful of injuries ahead of the matchup.

On the Louisville side, backup running back Duke Watson is the most noteworthy banged up Cardinal. He suffered an apparent ankle injury vs. Virginia, and did not play against Miami. Additionally, offensive linemen Mak Pounders and Naeer Jackson were ruled "out" for the matchup with the Canes.

As for Boston College, their defense has been hit extremely hard by injuries. Starting running back Turbo Richard suffered a shoulder injury vs. UConn in the second quarter, and was later ruled out for the rest of the game.
