—Spread check: Virginia by 5.5.
—Louisville is No. 11 in ESPN’s updated ACC power rankings.
—Terry Rozier has a lengthy Q&A feature in GQ, the highlight of which has to be Terry expressing his disbelief that Urkel knows who he is.
You were saying that you notice yourself getting recognized a lot more. Was there a moment where you had to pinch yourself: “Damn, I got recognized by that guy?”
Man, Urkel. We were out to eat in LA. He was with his bodyguards. He got up to leave and he tapped me. “You had a great year.” Everybody knows who Steve Urkel is. That was nuts. It’s been crazy all summer. People can take it two ways. They can either be satisfied or it can be a thing where, “I want this to happen forever.” It’s definitely humbling and it’s a blessing. I want this to always be like this.
Since May, this man has been tweeted about by some of the most well-known people on earth, pulled on stage during a Drake concert, and yet the moment that leveled him was Urkel telling him he had a great year.
Also, Jaleel White both needing and being able to afford bodyguards in 2018 is the most shocking part of that answer.

—It is becoming increasingly apparent that Florida State’s players don’t care for one another.
Deondre Francois doesn’t even want help from his offensive lineman off of the ground. He’s taken a beating today vs. Syracuse.

This year? Twenty-two, good for 100th nationally.
—Western Kentucky quarterback Davis Shanley “played like a warrior” against Louisville.
—Gobbler Country (Virginia Tech) has Louisville at No. 6 in its Atlantic Division power rankings.
6. Louisville Cardinals: Louisville squeaked by Western Kentucky, 20-17, to earn their first FBS win of the season. The Cardinals started off slow. Really, really, slow… Two missed field goals, including one to tie the game, by the Hilltoppers helped. Louisville didn’t take the lead until the five-minute mark in the fourth quarter. Malik Cunningham again was the best part of the offense, but that offense still only managed 292 yards. They came away with the win, but the Cardinals do not look particularly imposing. Their match against UVA next week may determine which one of those programs is able to become bowl eligible.
—Nick is right, the Keelan Cole story is as unreal as his catch was yesterday.
The Keelan Cole story is one of the best stories out of Louisville in a long time. The city should embrace him
