How to watch Louisville vs. Pitt football: Odds, Jeff Brohm team info

Louisville running back Jawhar Jordan has been proving himself all season.

After the first half of the season, Jordan is one of the nation's best running backs. He struggled against N.C. State two weeks ago but redeemed himself with two second-half touchdowns and 143 yards on a career-high 21 carries in the 33-20 win over then-No. 11 Notre Dame. It was the New York native's eighth career 100-yard game and fourth this season.

"I'm just doing what God gave me the ability to do, and that's just go out there, play football, play fast, physical," he said.

Jordan, tied for fourth nationally in rushing TDs (8), tied for ninth in rushing yards (653) and eighth in yards per carry (7.51), will look to continue his strong season against Pitt at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at Acrisure Stadium.

Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi compared Jordan's speed with former Panther Israel Abanikanda, who totaled 1,431 yards and 20 touchdowns on 239 carries as a junior in 2022 before becoming a fifth-round selection in the 2023 NFL Draft.

"He's not as big as Izzy, but he's physical," Narduzzi said of Jordan. "If you hit a hole and you don't hit it right, if you miss it, he's gone, like you saw Izzy a year ago. He's had explosive screens, runs. He's done it all. He's got great hands out of the backfield."

Here's what to know ahead of No. 15 Louisville's ACC clash with Pitt:
