Louisville coach Scott Satterfield is on one of the hottest seats in betting on College Football. And he will likely need a bowl game to save his job. At the onset, Satterfield started strong with an impressive 2019 season. However, the situation quickly turned sour. Satterfield was caught flirting with South Carolina in 2019. And he got caught in the act. Since that dalliance, Satterfield lost any equity he had previously built up with donors. On Saturday, Louisville will host inconsistent Pittsburgh. Pitt brings a winning record on the field but red ink on the board.

Namely, Brock Domann proved an able replacement for injured Malik Cunningham. Doman threw for one touchdown, ran for another, and led Louisville to a victory at Virginia. Most important of all, Domann overcame a slow start. Consider his first completion was to former teammate Anthony Johnson, now a Virginia defensive back. And it evoked thoughts of Cunningham when he took off on a 44-yard run for a tying touchdown.
