LOUISVILLE, KY - The University of Louisville Cardinals (6-1 overall, 2-0 in Conference USA) open arguably the toughest stretch of their schedule Saturday when they travel to the Queen City to challenge the Cincinnati Bearcats (4-2 overall, 4-0 C-USA) at Nippert Stadium. Four of the Cardinals' final five games are on the road.

The Cardinals bring a three-game winning streak to Cincinnati as the two squads square off for the annual battle for the Keg of Nails. Last season at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium, RB Tony Stallings rushed for 122 yards and QB Dave Ragone connected on 25 of 31 passes for a then-career high 326 yards as Louisville scored 24 unanswered points in the second half to defeat the Bearcats 38-24.

Cincinnati enters Saturday's game atop the Conference USA standings with a perfect 4-0 record in league play (4-2 overall). The Bearcats are riding a three-game winning streak after overcoming an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat winless Houston 29-28 last week in Houston.
