The Louisville football program's roller coaster on-field play was certainly on full display this past Saturday against No. 24 Virginia.
The Cardinals fell behind 24-14 entering the fourth quarter, but were able to mount a comeback to force overtime. However, after having to settle for a field goal to start the extra period, the Cavaliers countered with a walk-off touchdown.
With a disappointing performance such as this, how did Louisville's players grade out over on the analytical site Pro Football Focus? Below are the team-wide grades, as well as all the individual offensive and defensive grades, from their matchup against Pitt:
As a reminder, in PFF's grading scale, 60.0 is the baseline for an "average" grade. 70.0-79.9 is considered above average, 80.0-89.9 is good, whereas 90.0 and higher is elite. On the opposite end of the spectrum, 59.9-50.0 is below average, 49.9-40.0 is considered poor, whereas 39.9 and below is very poor.
