Tuesday afternoon Cardinal news and notes

—Spread check: Louisville by 4.5.

—Scott Satterfield said Monday that his team is fully healthy heading into game week.

—Cardinal fan Josh Mark has launched a cool and easy to use Louisville football stat tracker that he’ll be updating after every game this season.

—After a 1-2 start, the Cards are striving to play more complete football moving forward.

“Offensively, we know last game was a very poor outing by us, to say the least,” Satterfield said. “We got whipped up front, we did not make plays in the passing game. We were not in sync at all offensively, and when that happens against a really good defense you are going to look really bad.”

As for special teams, well, it hasn’t looked great at any point - particularly against Western Kentucky. Louisville has lost the field position game in every contest up to this point by an average of 12.6 yards. The saving grace in this phase is that placekicker James Turner is perfect on both field goals (4-4) and PATs (11-11).

While the Cardinals have yet to excel in all three phases of the game for a single contest this year, Satterfield knows that there are plenty of plays to be made by his team and that in the end it will simply come down to execution.

“I think that if we are able to put everything together and get our guys do what they are supposed to do, then we are going to be fine,” he said. “I think the effort is there and our guys are playing hard, but they are not doing what they are supposed to do at times and that is what we have got to get cleaned up moving forward.”

—Georgia Tech’s official site lays out the key points of Friday night’s game from the GT perspective.

• The Jackets enter Friday’s contest ranked among the nation’s top 25 in 10 different statistical categories — net punting (fourth – 46.14 avg.), fumble recoveries (seventh – 3), fewest sacks allowed (eighth – .67/gm), takeaways (15th – 6), rushing offense (15th – 221.0 ypg), red-zone defense (18th – .750), total offense (22nd – 454.0 ypg), defensive interceptions (23rd – 3) and offensive first downs (25th – 70).

• Offensively, Georgia Tech has amassed more than 400 yards per game in each of its first three contests this season — 438 at Florida State (Sept. 12), 471 vs. No. 14 UCF (Sept. 19) and 453 at Syracuse (Sept. 26). In marks the first time that Tech has had three-straight 400-yard games at any point of a season since 2016, the first time that the Yellow Jackets have opened a season with three-straight 400-yard games since 2013 and the first time the Jackets have opened a season with 400-yard games against three-straight NCAA Division I-A/FBS opponents since 1999.

• Georgia Tech head coach Geoff Collins and Louisville head coach Scott Satterfield were the defensive and offensive coordinators, respectively, on head coach Mario Cristobal’s Florida International team that won the 2010 Sun Belt Conference championship and earned the first bowl berth in FIU history with a trip to the Little Caesars Bowl in Detroit, where the Panthers defeated Toledo, 34-32.

—The one-time transfer rule could be coming to college sports very soon after all.

College athletes in all sports — including football — could soon be able to transfer one time and play right away.

The Division I Council is expected to vote next week to introduce the one-time transfer exception proposal into the legislative cycle, two sources told The Athletic. A formal vote by NCAA membership could take place as early as January at the NCAA’s annual convention. If adopted, the rule would take effect for the 2021-22 academic year. That means if an FBS football player decides to transfer following the 2020 season and has eligibility remaining, he would be eligible to play at his new destination next fall.

The goal of the proposal is to create a uniform rule across all sports. Right now, every NCAA-sponsored sport except football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball and men’s ice hockey already uses the one-time transfer exception. Those five sports require transfers to sit out for a year unless they are granted an immediate-eligibility waiver. This proposal, if adopted, would extend the provisions of the one-time exception to all sports.
