The Louisville–Miami football rivalry is an American college football rivalry between the Louisville Cardinals and Miami Hurricanes. Miami leads the all-time series, 12–4–1. Since 2023, the Schnellenberger Trophy is presented to the winner of the game. Both teams are members of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).
Series history
[edit]The two teams played each other on an inconsistent basis until 2014, when Louisville joined the ACC. Despite this, the two schools were in different divisions, with Louisville being placed in the Atlantic Division, and Miami in the Coastal Division. With this scheduling format, the two teams were scheduled to meet twice every twelve years. After the elimination of divisions in and subsequent changes to the scheduling format in 2024, the two teams will now play each other twice every seven years.
Prior to the 2023 matchup, the Schnellenberger Trophy was introduced to be rewarded to the winner of the game. The trophy honors Howard Schnellenberger, who was a head coach for Miami from 1979 to 1983, and for Louisville from 1985 to 1994. He was credited with rebuilding both schools' football programs and leading them out of financial distress. The trophy itself is a bronzed pair of Schellenberger's famous cowboy boots.[2][3]
