Louisville to wear glow-in-the-dark cleats for noon kickoff Saturday
Louisville's high-powered offense is one of the most innovative in the country, and the Cardinals will apply that innovation to their uniforms Saturday against NC State.
The Cardinals will take the field against the Wolfpack wearing incredible glow-in-the-dark cleats.

The only catch? The matchup won't be played in the dark; kickoff is scheduled for noon ET. The expected weather is sunny, with a temperature of 59 degrees and a zero-percent chance of rain.
The cleats certainly have a clean look, and Louisville should be commended for the innovation, but they probably would have been better served debuting them in a nationally televised game, say 8:00 p.m. ET against No. 11 Houston on Nov. 17.
