We take an early look at the weather forecast for next Saturday in Louisville football’s game against the NC State Wolfpack.

The Louisville football program has a huge ACC game this upcoming Saturday against the NC State Wolfpack. I’m pretty sure everyone in the country, other than Clemson fans, were devastated when the Wolfpack kicker missed the short field goal attempt to win the game. That win would have helped both of these teams, but unfortunately that is not what we are writing about today.

Louisville is set to take on NC State this upcoming Saturday afternoon at 12:00pm for Homecoming. The Wolfpack looked a lot better than anyone gave them credit for in Clemson, therefore the Cards better play more sound football than they did against Duke.

I will say that the weather played a bit of a factor in Jackson’s accuracy issues in the second quarter, but Jackson made the plays when it counted against the Blue Devils.

In regards to this upcoming game, will the weather be a factor for both the Cardinals and the Wolfpack offenses?

Here is the early weather report, according to the weather channel:

As I like to remind everyone on a weekly basis, take this weather report with a grain of salt. Here in Kentucky, the weather can change quick. There is a 90 percent chance of rain on Thursday, so let’s hope that front doesn’t move into the Louisville area later than expected.
