The Game 4 No. 18 Louisville (10-2, 5-2) will face No. 4 Florida (11-1, 7-1) in the 2013 Allstate Sugar Bowl on Wednesday, Jan. 2, 2013, at Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, La. The Cardinals will be making their first appearance in the Sugar Bowl and their second BCS appearance in school history, while Florida is making the trip to a BCS game for the seventh time in school history. Louisville defeated Wake Forest 24-13 in the 2007 Orange Bowl in the school’s last BCS appearance. The Gators are 5-1 in BCS bowls and are making their first appearance in the BCS since a 51-24 victory over Cincinnati in the 2010 Sugar Bowl. The Gators are making their ninth appearance in the Sugar Bowl. 4 The Cardinals clinched their BIG EAST title and a trip to the Sugar Bowl with a 20-17 victory at Rutgers. Redshirt freshman John Wallace booted a 29-yard field goal with 1:41 remaining in the game to give the Cardinals their 10th win of the year. The Gators closed the regular season with an impressive 37-26 win at Florida State. 4 The game will be televised on ESPN with Sean McDonough on play-by-play, Chris Spielman as the color commentator and Quint Kessenich as the sideline reporter. Paul Rogers, Joe Tronzo and Doug Ormay will handle the action on the Louisville Radio Network. Head Coach Charlie Strong 4 Louisville head coach Charlie Strong (Central Arkansas ‘83) is in his third season with the Cardinals. Named the school’s 21st head coach on Dec. 9, 2009 Strong has complied a 24-14 record at Louisville while leading the Cardinals to back-to-back BIG EAST titles and three-straight bowl games. Strong led the Cardinals to consecutive 7-6 records in 2010 and 2011 before his 10-2 season this year. Strong came to Louisville after 14 years at Florida where he won a pair of national titles in 2006 and 2008. He had four different stints with the Gators. He served on the staff from 2003-09; 1991-94; 1988-89; and 1983. He was the defensive coordinator at Florida from 2003-09. Head Coach Will Muschamp 4 Florida head coach Will Muschamp (Georgia ‘94) is 18-7 in his second season as head coach at Florida. He guided the Gators to a 7-6 mark in his first year and 11-1 in 2012. Muschamp came to UF after being the coach-inwaiting and defensive coordinator at the University of Texas since November 2008. He owns 16 years of coaching experience with him, including 12 years in the SEC, eight as a coach and four as a player at Georgia. Muschamp has also served as defensive coordinator at Auburn (2006-07) and LSU (2002-04); he was LSU’s linebackers coach in 2001) and was a finalist for the 2007 Broyles Award as the nation’s top assistant coach. Rankings 4 In the latest polls released on Dec. 2, Louisville stands at 22nd in the Associated Press and 18th in the USA Today Coaches Poll. The Cardinals finished 21st in the final BCS standings. Florida Series 4 This will be the third meeting between the Cardinals and Gators and the first in a bowl game. Florida is 2-0 all-time against the Cardinals in the series that dates back to 1980. Florida defeated Louisville 13-0 in Gainesville in 1980 and 31-17 at Florida in 1992. 10-Win Seasons 4 With the dramatic 20-17 win over Rutgers on Thursday, Nov. 29, the Cardinals improved their record to 10-2 overall and 5-2 in the BIG EAST Conference. The 10 wins were the most since the 2006 squad won the Orange Bowl with a school-best 12-1 mark. 4 Louisville won 10 games for the fifth time in school history and four have come since 2000. Louisville went 10-1 in 1990 and won the Fiesta Bowl. In 2001, the Cardinals produced an 11-2 campaign that was culminated with a 28-10 victory over BYU in the Liberty Bowl. The 2004 squad was 11-1 and defeated Boise State 44-40 in the Liberty Bowl, while the 2006 squad went 12-1 and defeated Wake Forest 24-13 in the Orange Bowl. 10-Win Seasons Team Record 1990 10-1 2001 11-2 2004 11-1 2006 12-1 2012 10-2

2012 Louisville Football

Mercedes Benz Superdome • Home of the Allstate sugar bowl Mercedes-Benz SuperdomeWhen Alabama defeated Penn State in 1975 in the Superdome, the game launched a new era for the Sugar Bowl, one that has tracked through more than three decades of legendary games, coaches and athletes, and one that projects well into the foreseeable future. In October, the Superdome wrapped up the most recent round of renovations since Hurricane Katrina - an $85 million effort capped by the unveiling of the eyecatching lighting capabilities which make the building an even more vivid highlight of the Big Easy skyline. This brings the total amount spent on renovations to $336 million since 2006. The Superdome stands as one of America's architectural marvels and has now emerged as Louisiana's most recognizable landmark. In August, 2005, the whole world saw what happened here when Hurricane Katrina ravaged New Orleans. The image of the Superdome with its torn roof, surrounded by flood waters, was a lasting one. Now that image has transcended into a symbol of the recovery of the city-the rebuilt Superdome with its gleaming white roof and its fabulous night-time glow poised on the threshold of downtown. Those who doubted that it could be donethat the Dome and the city could come back-now see a 9-acre round billboard that has a clear message. The Superdome and New Orleans are back big time. Following the biggest rebuilding project ever attempted in a major stadium, Sept. 25, 2006, has become a significant date in the history of an historic city. The reopening of the Superdome, with the Saints playing on Monday Night Football, launched a citywide celebration. It was watched by millions on television and provided a lifetime memory for everyone who was present. They discovered a new Superdome sporting a fresh look with contemporary color schemes, dazzling graphics, state-of-the-art LED video boards and scoreboards, hundreds of flat-screen TVs, bigger and better concession stands, and remodeled suites and reception rooms. The work on the upgrades continued through the 2011 off-season. The reopening of the Superdome began a successful run of sports and entertainment unprecedented in New Orleans, before or after Hurricane Katrina, with Sugar Bowls, Allstate BCS National Championships, the NCAA Men's and Women's Final Fours and an NFL Super Bowl. The Sugar Bowl has played a vital role as it has for several decades, attracting visitors and national media to the city and keeping New Orleans in the minds of millions. The final pieces of the effort to bring the Superdome to a level equivalent to that of the best stadiums in the nation were completed in the offseason of 2011. In midOctober, Mercedes-Benz was officially announced as the naming-rights partner of the building and the LED lighting system was introduced to the city.

Champions Square has been transformed into a true pedestrian mall with the addition of brick pavers in the Square and on LaSalle Street, trees and benches. As well, the installation of a permanent grand staircase complete with brick pavers leading to Gate C of the Superdome is the finishing touch. A permanent Grand Staircase has been installed and features brick pavers. The top of Gate C has been widened to allow for easy access and accommodate patron flow to the Exterior Plaza Level of the Superdome. The center portion of the Grand Staircase provides an area for patrons to sit and enjoy food and drinks with a fantastic view of the entertainment on the main stage in Champions Square. The expanded Plaza (100 Level) concourse features additional restrooms and additional concession points of sale as well as updated finishes: lighting, flooring, and signage. Reconfiguration of the East and West Side Plaza stands brings the addition of 3,100 seats and improved sightlines. Plaza (100 Level) sideline seats are 10 feet closer to the playing field. The bowl has taken on a squared look instead of oval shape. Two new premium ground level club lounges are located under the east and west side Plaza (100 Level) stands. Premium ticketed patrons enjoy private, direct access into premium lounges from the Superdome garages. Each premium lounge is approx. 7,600 square feet and features flat-screen televisions, granite counter tops and full-service bars. The two lounges combined can accommodate and service 4,500 fans. Ticketed club patrons may exit onto porch and directly proceed to their upgraded leather seats equipped with cup-holders. More than 26,000 LED lights that are capable of reproducing every color of the rainbow on all 96 concave aluminum panels of the Superdome were installed, along with 983 LED lights being installed at the top of the landing of the Grand Staircase. Additional elevators have been added to the building, including two elevators which travel directly from the ground-level to the press box, eliminating the need to change elevators. The additional elevators will also allow for more dedicated elevator time for media only.

2012 Louisville Football Strong Faces His Former Employer in top 25 match-up

AllState Sugar Bowl Two programs with energized fan bases, two terrific head coaches, two top 25 teams and two squads with 10 or more wins highlight the matchup between No. 4 Florida and No. 18 Louisville in the 2013 Allstate Sugar Bowl. Gearing up to meet for the first time in the postseason and just the third time overall, Louisville and Florida will square off on Jan. 2 in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. The Sugar Bowl marks the 17th bowl game in school history, and the third under head coach Charlie Strong, as the Cardinals will face an SEC opponent for just the second time in a bowl game and Florida for the first time. Strong took the program to a 10-win season and his first BCS berth and the second in school history. The Cardinals used a never-say-die attitude to win a number of close games. Of the 10 wins, five came by five points or less, including a 20-17 win at Rutgers to clinch the school’s third BIG EAST title. Strong is certainly familiar with the Gators, having spent four different stints on the Florida staff, including the last seven years as the defensive coordinator. He won a pair of national championships with the Gators in 2006 and 2008. A Look at the Cardinals Playing in its third straight bowl game, Louisville will look for its first 11-win season since 2006 and its second BCS win. The Cardinals defeated Wake Forest 24-13 in the 2007 Orange Bowl. Louisville will look to avenge a bowl loss to NC State in the Belk Bowl last season, and are looking for its first postseason win since a 31-28 victory over Southern Mississippi in the 2010 Beef ‘O’Brady’s Bowl. Louisville’s success was largely in part to a solid passing game behind the arm of sophomore Teddy Bridgewater, who has thrown for 3,452 yards and 25 touchdowns. The Miami, Fla., product recorded two 400-yard performances and was one of the most efficient quarterbacks in the nation. Bridgewater was fortunate to be surrounded by one of the better wide receivers units in the country. A deep and talented group, the wide receivers made a number of big plays. Junior Damian Copeland leads the team with 48 receptions for 597 yards and one touchdown, while sophomore Eli Rogers recorded 42 receptions for 443 yards and four scores. The big playmaker has been sophomore DeVante Parker with his career-best 38 receptions for 712 yards and a team-best nine touchdowns. He has 12 receptions of 20 or more yards and is averaging 18.7 yards per catch. Senior Andrell Smith has made the biggest strides this season. After recording 11 receptions a year ago, Smith has responded with 30 catches for 481 yards and three scores. The offensive line has stayed intact for much of the season. Led by Rimington Award finalist Mario Benavides, the line has been consistent all year long. Senior tackle Alex Kupper, sophomore guard Jake Smith and sophomore tackle Jamon Brown have started every game this season, while sophomore guard John Miller has been the other starter. The Cardinals have played better defense over the last two games of the season versus Connecticut and Rutgers. In a 23-20 triple-overtime loss to Connecticut, the Cardinals limited the Huskies to 92 yards passing and completley shut down Rutgers in the second half, hold-

ing the Scarlet Knights to a second-half field goal. Sophomore linebacker Preston Brown leads the Cardinals with 96 tackles from his middle linebacker position, Brown registered 84 tackles as a sophomore, but is having a better season this year after changing positions. Freshman James Burgess has enjoyed a great rookie season with 25 tackles and is tied for the team lead with two interceptions. Sophomore Calvin Pryor is enjoying a fabulous season from his safety position. The team’s second-leading tackler, Pryor owns 94 stops and forced a team-high four fumbles, while junior Hakeem Smith is having his third-straight outstanding season with 66 tackles. Senior Adrian Bushell owns a career-high 59 stops and has 11 pass break-ups from his cornerback position. A Look at the Gators Florida, who finished third in the BCS rankings, will make its ninth Sugar Bowl appearance, tied for the third-most in history. Florida is 3-5 in its eight previous Sugar Bowl appearances, which most recently included a 51-24 win over Cincinnati in the 2010 game and also included a 52-20 victory over Florida State for the 1997 National Championship (1996 season). The Gators’ first Sugar Bowl appearance was in the 1966 Sugar Bowl, a 20-18 loss to Missouri, despite an MVP-performance by quarterback Steve Spurrier. UF has claimed a school-record four-consecutive bowls and will be making its eighthconsecutive January bowl appearance, the longest active streak in the nation. In addition, the Gators will be appearing in a BCS Bowl for the seventh time, tops in the SEC and tied for the third-best total nationally. Florida’s total of five BCS Bowl wins is tied for the top total in the nation and with a victory it will have the top total in the nation in all-time BCS wins. UF will be making its 40th bowl appearance. Will Muschamp is the only first time head coach at a BCS-conference school to win 11 regular-season games in his second season after finishing .500 or worse the previous regular season in records back to 1996. Florida improved from a 6-6 regular season in 2011 to an 11-1 regular season in 2012. The five-game turnaround in the regular season marked the biggest one-year leap for the program in 32 years (0-10-1 in 1979, 7-4 regular season in 1980). The Gators have hung their hat on defense this season, limiting the opposition to 283.4 yards of total offense. Florida is stout against the pass as the Gators have registered 19 interceptions this season led by four from Matt Elam. The Gators have allowed 155 points this season, an average of 12.9 points per game. On the offensive side of the ball, running back Mike Gillislee is one of the top runners in the country, averaging 92.0 yards per game, while quarterback Jeff Driskel has been solid, throwing for 1,471 yards and 11 touchdowns, while tossing just three interceptions. Florida has punished opponents on the ground, averaging 194.5 yards per game and have tallied 21 scores on the ground.

COACHING CAREER

STRONG Notches THIRD-STRAIGHT WINNING CAMPAIGN

Entering its 94th season of football, the University of Louisville now has four coaches who have started their coaching careers at Louisville with three straight winning seasons. Bobby Petrino (2003-06) and John L. Smith (19982002) were the last two head coaches to post three straight winning seasons in their first three years on the job until head coach Charlie Strong became the fourth with a win over USF. Lee Corso (1969-72) was the other coach to post three consecutive winning seasons to start his career. Corso, Smith and and head coach Charlie Strong also won league titles during their first three seasons.

LOUISVILLE CARDINALS (10-2)

Florida Gators (11-1)

Louisville jumped out to a 9-0 start to the season before falling at Syracuse and at home to Connecticut thus setting up a must-win situation at Rutgers. Following a gutsy 20-17 win over the Scarlet Knights (11/29), the Cardinals sit at 10-2 on the season. Louisville will be making its second appearance at a BCS bowl.

Florida started the season at 7-0 before falling to Georgia on Oct. 27 which ultimately kept the Gators from playing in the SEC Championship. The Gators rebounded to win their next four games and enter the Sugar Bowl at 11-1. The Gators have pitched two shutouts this season blanking Kentucky 38-0 and Jacksonville State 23-0.

Offense After using a balanced attack for the first part of the season, the passing game has really taken off as of late. The offense has gained at least 300 yards through the air in the last five games vaulting the Cardinals passing offense from No. 51 on Oct. 20 to No. 24 on Dec. 1. Louisville is averaging 298.58 yards per game through the air this season. Teddy Bridgewater ranks eighth in the nation is passing efficiency at 161.62 and has been rewriting Louisville’s passing record book all season long.

Offense Florida is a run-first team evidenced by their nearly 2-to-1 ratio of rush attempts to pass attempts. The Gators check in with the No. 35 rushing offense at 194.50 yards per game. However, of their 509 rushing attempts, the Gators have only found the end zone 21 times on the ground. Jeff Driskel is completing 64.8 percent of his throws, but has only thrown three interceptions on the season. Additionally, Driskel runs the ball once for every two times he throws it. The Gators only average 143.9 yards through the air this season.

Defense Louisville boasts the No. 19 pass defense in the nation this season, giving up just 193.75 yards per contest through the air. With the BCS on the line at Rutgers, the defense clamped down and only allowed the Scarlet Knights to run 45 plays which is tied for the second fewest plays by an opponent in a game dating back to 1989. Additionally, Louisville held Rutgers to nine first downs and were only on the field for 17:49. Special Teams The kicking game was one of the biggest question marks coming into the season but John Wallace has since put those worries to rest by going 14-for-17 on field goal attempts. He booted the game-winner, a 30-yarder, in overtime against Cincinnati on Oct. 26. After struggling in kick coverage earlier this season, the Cardinals have tightened up their coverage and forced a critical fumble at Rutgers.

An Elite Club

Of the 22 FBS head coaching hires in 2010 Charlie Strong is one of three to lead his program to three straight bowl games joining Florida State’s Jimbo Fisher, Notre Dame’s Brian Kelly.

THE HEAD COACHES Charlie Strong Louisville University of Louisville head coach Charlie Strong has brought energy and enthusiasm back to the Cardinals’ football program with his ability to motivate, teach, and recruit at the highest level. A man with a proven track record as an assistant coach for 27 years and winning two national titles, Strong has a clear vision of re-building the Cardinals’ football program based on character, hard work and honor. In two seasons at Louisville, Strong has guided the Cardinals to consecutive bowl appearances, and the school’s first BIG EAST title since 2006. He is only the third coach in U of L history to guide his first two teams to bowl games and 14 wins after inheriting a team that won just 15 games in the three seasons before Strong was hired. Simply put, Strong has turned around the football program and the excitement around the program is at an all-time high. Louisville improved from 4-8 in 2009 to identical 7-6 records in 2010 and 2011, including bowl game appearances in the Beef `O’Brady’s Bowl in 2010 and the Belk Bowl last season. After winning a combined two league games in 2008-09, Strong led the Cardinals to three BIG EAST victories in 2010 and five on 2011. Playing with a large number of underclassmen and true freshmen this past season, Strong saw his young team get off to a slow start, but it was understandable with the large number of first-time performers. Louisville won two of its first three games, including a 24-17 win on the road at arch-rival Kentucky, snapping a four-game losing streak to the `Cats. It was the first win in Lexington since the 2005 season. However, Strong’s young team dropped its next three games and it looked like the season was lost. Sitting at 2-4 after a loss to Cincinnati on Oct. 15, in which Louisville had a 16-7 lead at the half, the Cardinals rattled off wins in five of their last six games, including a win over nationally ranked West Virginia. Louisville also won its last two games of the year on the road to win a share of the BIG EAST title and qualify for the Belk Bowl. Strong guided true freshman quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to win BIG EAST Rookie of the Year and a number freshman All-American accolades, while freshman guard Jake Smith became the first Cardinal player to be named a FWAA Freshman All-American. Taking over a program that went 15-21 in the three seasons prior to him taking over, Strong’s first season was just as impressive, guiding the Cardinals to a 7-6 record and being named the BIG EAST Coach of the Year.

Winning Machine

Of those same 22 FBS head coaching hires from 2010, only three have more wins in their first three seasons than Strong. Fisher, Kelly and USC’s Lane Kiffin have all won more games than Strong in their first three years at their current schools.

Quickest to BCS

Charlie Strong guided Louisville to a BCS berth in his third season as head coach. Bobby Petrino led the Cardinals to the other BCS berth in school history in his fourth season at Louisville.

Will Muschamp Florida Will Muschamp was announced as the University of Florida’s head football coach on December 11, 2010, by Athletics Jeremy Foley. Muschamp, 39, came to UF after being the coach-in-waiting at the University of Texas since November 2008 and is a one-time Gainesville native who returned to North Central Florida as the 23rd head coach in Florida football history. Muschamp, a 16-year coaching veteran, has 12 years of experience in the Southeastern Conference, eight as a coach and four as a player. Muschamp served as defensive coordinator at Auburn University (2006-07) and LSU (200204; he was LSU’s linebackers coach in 2001) and was a finalist for the 2007 Broyles Award as the nation’s top assistant coach. The son of a football coach, he turned down appointments at West Point and Annapolis to become a four-year letterman as a safety at the University of Georgia from 1991-94, where he was voted defensive co-captain as a senior. Not only does Muschamp, a highly-respected coach among both his peers and his players, bring collegiate and NFL experience back to Gainesville, he also brings a wealth of big-game experience. He has coached in two national championship games, winning the ultimate prize in 2003 while defensive coordinator at LSU, and coached in a third BCS bowl game following the 2008 season, when Texas won the Fiesta Bowl. In addition to his national championship past, Muschamp has coached in the SEC Championship Game twice and in the Big 12 Championship Game once, coming out on the winning side in each of those three contests. In his five seasons as an SEC defensive coordinator, Muschamp’s defenses ranked among the nation’s top 10 in total defense every single year, while always maintaining a top-15 rating in scoring defense, including three times inside the top 10. In four of his eight seasons overall as a Division I defensive coordinator, the high-energy coach’s team has allowed under 100 yards rushing per game and has twice led the nation in rushing defense while yielding less than 75 yards rushing per game. His 2003 LSU defense led the country by allowing 67 yards per game on the ground, the best mark by an SEC team in the 2000s, while Texas gave up just 73.1 yards on the ground in 2009 to pace the nation. Over the past three seasons, the Texas defense ranks No. 1 in the nation with 119 sacks for 949 yards lost. His unit also rates in the top 10 nationally from 2008-10 in several other major categories, allowing 2.9 yards per rushing attempt (third), 96.7 rushing yards per game (fourth), 297.4 yards per game (seventh), all of which are Big 12 bests during that span.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Shane Matthews threw for 317 yards and three touchdowns to lead Florida over Louisville 31-17 on Saturday at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. The Gators jumped out to a 17-3 lead before Jeff Brohm found Greg Brohm on a 14-yard touchdown strike in the third quarter to pull Louisville within seven. Matthews found Aubrey Hill for a 21-yard gain on third-and-16 to keep a third quarter drive alive. Matthews then found Willie Jackson for a 6-yard touchdown pass on the same drive for Jackson's second touchdown reception of the game to put Florida back ahead by 14. Ralph Dawkins plunged in from six yards out in the early moments of the fourth quarter to cap a 7-play, 41-yard drive to put Louisville within striking distance. However, a 6-yard run by Errict Rhett put the game out of reach for the Cardinals. Louisville was unable to capitalize on four Florida turnovers and were held to just 29 yards rushing on 34 carries.

Bowl Result Orange Bowl W, 24-13

On This Date - January 2, 2007 Anthony Allen scored two touchdowns, one on a trick play, and Brian Brohm threw for 311 yards to lead Louisville past Wake Forest 24-13 in the Orange Bowl. The Cardinals averaged 39 points and ranked second in the nation in total offense this season, but fell behind 13-10 in the final period before their offense went into high gear. Touchdown drives of 81 and 71 yards on consecutive possessions sealed their first win in a major bowl since the 1991 Fiesta Bowl. No. 5 Louisville finished 12-1 to ensure the highest final ranking in school history. For three quarters, squandered opportunities plagued the Cardinals. They lost two fumbles in Wake Forest territory, Mario Urrutia dropped a potential 62-yard touchdown pass, and Art Carmody - the Lou Groza Award winner - was wide right on a 32-yard field goal attempt, only his fourth miss this season. Alphonso Smith nearly blocked Carmody’s errant kick and also harried Louisville’s punter into a 14-yard boot that set up a 44-yard field goal by Sam Swank of Wake Forest. Like Louisville, the Demon Deacons failed to convert several scoring chances. They committed three turnovers in Cardinal territory, and after moving 36 yards in the final minute of the first half, Swank missed a 47-yard field goal. But Swank made a 36-yarder to cap a 61-yard drive and put the Demon Deacons ahead 13-10 early in the fourth quarter. The Cardinals responded with an eight-play drive capped by Allen’s 1-yard plunge for a 17-13 lead with 12:31 to go. They quickly forced a punt, and mounted a 10-play drive that ended with Brock Bolen’s 18-yard scoring run. Brohm finished 24-for-34 and was chosen the game’s most valuable player. He said he’s leaning toward returning for his senior season next fall.

Bridgewater and Strong Garner Top BIG EAST Honors 4 University of Louisville quarterback sophomore quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was named the BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year and head coach Charlie Strong was tabbed the BIG EAST Co-Coach of the Year, as the league announced football awards for the 2012 season. 4 Eight Cardinals populated the first and second All-BIG EAST teams. Cornerback Adrian Bushell was selected first team on defense for the second-straight season, while Bridgewater, center Mario Benavides, wide receiver DeVante Parker were first-team selections on offense. 4 The Cardinals had four players earn second-team honors on defense in offensive tackle Alex Kupper, linebacker Preston Brown, safety Calvin Pryor, and safety Hakeem Smith, who earned league honors for the third-straight season. Bridgewater guided the Cardinals to a 10-2 regular season and a trip to the 2013 Allstate Sugar Bowl. The Miami, Fla., native threw for 3,452 yards and 25 touchdowns in 11 games as a starter. Coming off the bench for the first time in over a year, Bridgewater threw for 263 yards and two touchdowns in a 20-17 win over Rutgers. He threw for 424 yards and three touchdowns in a loss to Syracuse and 416 yards and two scores in an overtime win over Cincinnati. 4 Strong earned BIG EAST Coach of the Year honors for the second time in three seasons. He was tabbed the league’s top coach in 2010 before being named again this year after leading the Cardinals to their secondstraight BIG EAST championship. Bushell is enjoying his best season as a Cardinal, recording 59 tackles and one interception. He also leads the team with 11 pass break-ups. One of the top offensive linemen for the Cardinals over the last four years, Benavides earned first team honors. The native of Los Fresnos, Texas, Benavides has started all 12 games this year and owns 46 career starts. 4 Parker has been a big-play receiver for the Cardinals, leading the team with nine touchdown receptions. He caught a career-best 38 passes for 712 yards, averaging 18.7 yards a catch. He has caught a touchdown pass in five consecutive games and registered a pair of scores against Cincinnati and Connecticut. Brown earned second-team honors after leading the team in tackles. A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Brown has registered 96 tackles and one interception. Non-Conference Play 4 Louisville finished its 2012 non-conference schedule with a 5-0 record. The Cardinals defeated Kentucky 32-14 in the season opener, then won 35-7 against Missouri State in game two. Louisville defeated North Carolina 39-34 before winning two road games at FIU (28-21) and Southern Mississippi (21-17). 4 The Cardinals are 10-6 in non-conference games the last three seasons under head coach Charlie Strong. Louisville went 3-2 in the first season and 2-4 last year in non-league games. For Starters 4 In 2012, the Cardinals have a total of 45 players with at least one game starting experience.

The 159 straight games mark the longest streak in program history. 4 The last time the Cardinals were shut out came on Sept. 23, 2000, when Louisville dropped a 31-0 decision to Florida State in Tallahassee, Fla. Cardinals Lose Leading Rusher 4 The Cardinals dropped their first game of the season at Syracuse on Nov. 10 and also lost their leading rusher when running back Senorise Perry tore the ACL in his right knee. Perry was lost early in the loss to the Orange and will be severe blow to the potent Louisville offense. Playing in 10 games, Perry rushed for 705 yards and 11 scores on 136 carries. 4 Perry, who was in his first season as a starter, tied for the team lead with three 100-yard games, including a career-high 118 yards and two touchdowns in a win over Southern Mississippi. Perry recorded 108 yards and a touchdown in the season opener versus Kentucky and rushed for 101 yards and four touchdowns in a 45-35 victory at Pittsburgh. 4 Perry also was one of the team’s top receivers, catching 18 passes for 181 yards.

2012 Louisville Football Team Notes Louisville to Join ACC in 2014 The Atlantic Coast Conference Council of Presidents has unanimously voted to accept the University of Louisville as its newest member. The vote followed the submission of Louisville’s letter of application. “With the addition of the University of Louisville, the ACC continues to be well positioned for the future competing at the highest level in all facets of the collegiate experience,” said the ACC Council of Presidents in a joint statement. “The ACC continues to be a vibrant conference that remains steadfast in its commitment to balancing academics and athletics.” “The University of Louisville will be a terrific member of the Atlantic Coast Conference,” said University of North Carolina Chancellor Holden Thorp, chair of the ACC Council of Presidents. “We welcome them as full partners into the ACC.” “With its aggressive approach to excellence in every respect, the University of Louisville will enhance our league’s culture and commitment to the cornerstones we were founded on 60 years ago,” said ACC Commissioner John Swofford. “The University of Louisville is an outstanding addition to the Atlantic Coast Conference and I commend the Council of Presidents for continuing to position our league for the long-term future. If you look at what has been done over the last 15 months, the ACC has only gotten stronger with the additions of Louisville, Notre Dame, Pitt and Syracuse.” “The University of Louisville is honored to join the ACC, a conference with a long history of excellence in athletics and academics,” said Dr. James Ramsey, President, University of Louisville. “The ACC will be a great home for UofL and our commitment to great academics, groundbreaking research and top-notch athletic teams.” “When it became apparent to us that we needed to make a move, the ACC is the perfect fit for us and we are so elated to be joining this prestigious conference,” said Tom Jurich, Vice President and Director of Athletics. “Under John Swofford’s leadership, the ACC continues to prosper. We sincerely appreciate this opportunity. This will open so many more doors for us both athletically for all of our sports programs, and academically for our university. What I really like about this move is it’s terrific for our fans, with the proximity of the institutions and we never have to leave the Eastern time zone. This is a credit to everyone at the University of Louisville and our community, as we have all pulled together to position ourselves for this opportunity. It’s amazing what has happened here over the last 15 years. We appreciate so much what the BIG EAST Conference has meant to us.”

30 is Enough 4 Typically over the years, when the Cardinals score 30 or more points, it usually means a win. Dating back to 1980, the Cardinals own a 134-14 record when scoring 30 or more points in a game and are 6-0 this season. 4 During the 1990s, the Cardinals were 36-5 when scoring 30 or more points in a contest and were 27-2 in the ‘80s when reaching that mark. 4 Louisville is 73-8 since 2000 when scoring 30 points or more in a contest. 4 The Cardinals are 12-0 under head coach Charlie Strong when scoring 30 or more points in a game over the last three seasons. Youth Movement 4 More than half of the Louisville Cardinals’ 2012 roster is freshmen and sophomores. All-told, Louisville’s roster includes 41 freshmen — 25 true freshmen and 16 redshirt freshmen — and 31 sophomores. The Cardinals also have 28 players in the junior class and just 13 seniors. What’s Coming Back 4 The Cardinals are coming off one of their best seasons since the 2006 season, but looking toward next year, Louisville could be a legitimate top 10 team in the nation with what it has returning. The Cardinals return approximately 22 starters on offense and defense, including its punter and placekicker. 4 Louisville returns 10 starters on offense and 10 on defense. Louisville will lose two starters on the offensive line in Alex Kupper and Mario Benavides, and wide receiver Andrell Smith.

55,386 fans packed Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium for the 2012 opener against Kentucky. Cardinals Score Huge BIG EAST Win 4 The Cardinals recorded their largest BIG EAST win under head coach Charlie Strong with the 45-17 victory over Temple on Nov. 3. It marked the Cardinals’ largest margin of victory under Strong since a 56-0 win over Memphis in 2010 — his first season as head coach. 4 The 28-point margin of victory was the largest conference win since a 48-17 victory over Connecticut in 2006. Since Strong took over the program in 2010, the average margin of victory in his 13 conference wins has been 11.8 ppg. He is 5-4 in games decided by a touchdown or less and is 3-2 in contests decided by a field goal or less. 4 The 45 points scored against Temple tied the highest output for Strong since he guided his team to a 45-35 win earlier this season against Pittsburgh. His previous high was a 40-point explosion versus Rutgers in the 2010 regular-season finale. The Graduates 4 Five Cardinals have played this fall as graduate students. Offensive tackle Alex Kupper, linebacker Daniel Brown, quarterback Will Stein, fullback Nick Heuser and tight end Nate Nord have already received their undergraduate degrees. Stein, Kupper and Heuser are enrolled in Louisville’s MBA program. 4Cornerback Adrian Bushell, safety Zed Evans, safety, center Mario Benavides, defensive back Titus Teague, linebacker Daniel Brown, running back Jeremy Wright and defensive tackle Roy Philon all graduated in December. The Magic 20 4 With the 20-17 win over Rutgers, the Cardinals upped their record to 23-6 under head coach Charlie Strong when scoring 20 or more points. The Cardinals have scored 20 or more points in 15 consecutive games dating back to the 2011 season. On the flip side, the Cardinals are also 14-3 when limiting the opposition to less than 20 points under Strong. 17 on NFL Rosters 4 When the NFL season opened up in the first week of September, the Cardinals were well-represented on NFL rosters. The Cardinals have 17 players playing in the NFL. Head coach Charlie Strong has had four players drafted into the NFL in his first two seasons. First Action 4 Besides the four true freshmen who saw action in the win over Kentucky, the Cardinals had six other players see action for the first time at Louisville. Tight end Ryan Hubbell made the start on offense, while safety Jermaine Reve recorded three tackles in his first action. Linebacker/tight end Jalen Harrington appeared on special teams, while kicker John Wallace booted a 22-yard field field goal and hit four extra points. Punter Ryan Johnson and offensive tackle Ryan Mack also saw playing time. Running back Corvin Lamb and Matt Nakatani saw their first game action against Missouri State. True freshman Abraham Garcia made his first appearance against USF. Safety Anthony Branch and offensive lineman Mike Romano saw their first action against Temple. All-Purpose Player 4 Junior Jeremy Wright has developed into a multi-purpose running back this season. Not only is Wright the team’s leading rusher, he has developed into one of the top receivers. The product of Clermont, Fla., is the team’s leading rusher with 740 yards and is one of the top receivers out of the backfield with 38 catches for 306 yards and a touchdown. He scored from 14 yards out in the 20-17 win over Rutgers. 4 Wright leads the team in all-purpose yards with 1,130 all-purpose yards. He is averaging 94.2 yards per game, which ranks ninth in the BIG EAST Conference.

Captain Comeback 4 Players are defined on what they do in the fourth quarter of close games, and sophomore quarterback www.GoCards.com 19

2012 Louisville Football Offensive Notes Teddy Bridgewater has been better than anyone in the final stanza. Bridgewater has led five drives in the fourth quarter that has given the Cardinals the lead or tied the game. 4 Trailing 17-15 in a driving rainstorm against Southern Mississippi, Bridgewater led the Cardinals to a scre with 5:35 left to win 21-17. 4 USF led Louisville 25-21 with 3:09 to play, he led an eight-play, 75-yard drive that culminated with an 11-yard pass to Eli Rogers with 1:35 left to give the Cardinals a 27-25 win. 4 With the score tied 24-24 in the fourth quarter against Cincinnati, Bridgewater connected with DeVante Parker on a 64-yard pass to give the Cardinals a 31-24. Louisville went on to win 34-31 overtime. 4 The Cardinals trailed Connecticut 10-3 until Bridgewater hit Parker with 21 seconds to send the game into overtime. 4 Tied 17-17 in the fourth quarter against Rutgers, Bridgewater led a drive that culminated with a 29-yard field goal by redshirt freshman John Wallace in a 20-17 win over the Scarlet Knights. Not Turning the Ball Over 4 The Cardinals have done a great job of taking care of the football this season, turning the football over just 12 times. Louisville has tossed seven picks and fumbled just five times all season. The 12 turnovers are tied with three others teams, including Florida, Louisville’s Sugar Bowl opponent.

going 5-5 in that role. He threw for 2,129 yards and 14 touchdowns last season as a true freshman. 4 Bridgewater’s record as a starter dropped to 14-7 all-time after a 23-20 loss to Connecticut. His 66.7 winning percentage is sixth all-time at Louisville. John Madeya owns an 86.7 winning percentage, posting a solid 26-4 mark as the starter. Stefan LeFors was 20-5 in his two seasons as the starter, which is the second-best winnng percentage at 80.0. He didn’t make the start in the win over Rutgers — the first time he failed to start since the win over Kentucky last season. Quarterback (Years) Rec. Pct. John Madeya (1970-72) 26-4 .867 Stefan LeFors (2001-04) 20-5 .800 Brian Brohm (2004-07) 24-9 .727 Browning Nagle (1989-90) 16-6-1 .717 Dave Ragone (1999-02) 27-11 .710 Teddy Bridgewater (2011-) 14-7 .667 Jeff Brohm (1988-93) 16-10 .615 Will Stein (2009-) 3-2 .600 Marty Lowe (1991-95) 13-9 .590 Hunter Cantwell (2005-08) 8-8 .500 Jay Gruden (1985-88) 11-13-1 .460 Chris Redman (1996-99) 18-24 .429 Bridgewater Efficient in the Passing Game 4 Thanks to a 69.0-percent completion percentage and 161.62 passing efficiency this season, teams must certainly be on the lookout for Teddy Bridgewater in the passing game. Bridgewater currently ranks fifth in school history with 458 career completions and is already eighth with 5,581 yards. He is first all-time in career completion percentage, completing 67.1 percent of his throws. 4 Bridgewater’s pass efficiency rating this season ranks eighth in the country and he is one of three underclassmen in the top 10. Bridgewater is one of only nine quarterbacks in the country with a rating of over 160.0. Wright and Lamb Take Over Running Back Duties 4 Due to the fact that leading rusher Senorise Perry was lost for the season to a knee injury, the Cardinals will rely on junior Jeremy Wright and red-shirt freshman Corvin Lamb. Wright has rushed a team-high 186 times for 740 yards and nine touchdowns, while Lamb has carried 11 times for 45 yards and a touchdown. 4 Wright has two three-yards rushing games, going for 105 yards and three touchdowns versus Kentucky, 114 yards and one score versus North Carolina, and 100 yards and one score against Temple. 4 Wright is one of the team’s top receivers, catching 38 passes for 306 yards and one touchdown. He caught a career-best nine passes for 72 yards in the loss to Connecticut. Lamb caught one pass and raced 53 yards for a touchdown in a loss to Syracuse on Nov. 10. 4 Lamb saw the most action of his career in the backfield in the 20-17 win over Rutgers. Lamb established new career-bests with six rushes for 37 yards, including a career-long run of 16 yards. Cardinals to Face Nation’s Best Pass Defense 4 The Cardinals might have one of the nation’s best quarterbacks in sophomore Teddy Bridgewater, but he and the Cardinals will face a huge challenge against Florida in the Sugar Bowl. The Gators have the nation’s top-ranked pass efficiency defense. Florida is allowing 186.4 yards through the air and have given up just five touchdown passes. 4 Bridgewater is completing 69.0 of his throws this year and will face a Florida defense that allows a 51.2 completion percentage and are tied for sixth in the country with 19 interceptions. 4 The Cardinals, who are averaging 298.6 yards through the air, will face a defense that hasn’t allowed a 300-yard passer all season and a high of 257 yards versus Tennessee. No (Turnover) Margin for Error 4 Louisville turned the football over once and forced three miscues in the win over Rutgers to move to +9 for the season. The Cardinals have turned the ball over just 12 times this year. 4 Turnover margin has been one of the best predictors of Louisville success in recent seasons. Since the start of 2010, the Cardinals have posted a 14-2 record when winning the turnover battle. On the flip side, Louisville is 9-13 when the margin is negative or even. 4 In its last 14 losses, Louisville is -10 in turnovers. In their last 23 wins, the Cardinals are +21. 4 Louisville has lost only once under Charlie Strong when on the plus side of the turnover battle and just once when holding at least a two-takeaway advantage. 4 Louisville is 2-6 under Charlie Strong without forcing an opponent turnover. Louisville forced three turnovers in the win over Rutgers, which was the seventh time this season that Louisville forced two or more turnovers.

Total Offense 4 After finishing the 2011 season with 400 yards of total offense in one game, the Cardinals have reach that www.GoCards.com 21 Bowl Game: Russell Athletic Bowl Last Game: L, 17-20 to Louisville

2012 Louisville Football Offensive Notes number in eight of the 12 games this season and over 500 in two of the last five games. 4 In the last five games, the Cardinals have been virtually unstoppable, averaging a solid 453.8 yards per game. Louisville tallied 524 in a win over Cincinnati and 508 in a victory against Temple. 4 The Cardinals are ranked 47th in the nation in total offense at 425.7 yards per game. Should Louisville maintain this pace, it would be the first time Louisville averaged better than 400 yards of total offense since the 2007 season. Passing Offense 4 With one game to play, the Cardinals have already thrown for more yards this season than they did in 13 games a year ago. Through 12 games in 2012, the Cardinals have passed for 3,583 yards, which is more than the 2,749 yards last year. 4 The Cardinals are ranked 24th in the country in passing offense and have thrown for 3,583 yards this season, which is the fifth-most in school history and the most for the Cardinals since 2007 when they threw for 4,103 yards. 4 The Cardinals have thrown for more than 300 yards seven times this year and over 400 yards twice. Louisville has thrown the ball 424 times, which is also the most since 2007. See Red and Score 4 Through 12 games, the Louisville offense has ventured into the red zone 50 times and come away with 46 scores (96 percent). 4 The Cardinals had converted in the red zone on 30 straight possessions in the red zone before Teddy Bridgewater tossed an interception in the third overtime against Connecticut. 4 The Cardinals lead the nation in red zone offense, besting Clemson and Louisiana-Lafayette, which are converting at a 94 percent clip. Spreading the Scoring Wealth 4 Louisville has demonstrated its outstanding, playmaking depth on offense during its 10-2 start this season. Twelve different players have found their way into the end zone on offense. Those 12 players have combined to score 47 offensive touchdowns. 4 Junior Senorise Perry leads the team with 11 touchdowns, while junior Jeremy Wright is second with 10 scores. Sophomore wide receiver DeVante Parker is tops among the wide receivers with nine touchdown receptions. Hubbell Makes Big Plays 4 Because of graduation losses, the Cardinals had to sign a talented tight end this year, and they did exactly that with the addition of tight end Ryan Hubbell. The product of Marion, Iowa, has been a solid addition, playing in all 12 games. He is been a good target, catching 14 passes for 239 yards and two scores. He is averaging 17.1 yards a catch, which is third on the team. 4 Hubbell shined in the win over Temple on Nov. 3, catching two passes for a career-high 92 yards and a touchdown. He tied the game at 14-14 in the first quarter when he raced 72 yards for a touchdown on a pass from Teddy Bridgewater. Cardinals Need Running Game 4 The Cardinals have turned into a throw first offense the last couple of weeks, and that’s not Louisville football under head coach Charlie Strong. Louisville has rushed for a total of 117 yards combined in the last three contests. The Cardinals ran for 42 yards on 41 carries in the win over Rutgers, and rushed for 27 yards in the loss to Connecticut and 48 versus Syracuse. The Cardinals have dipped to 98th in the country in rushing offense at 127.1 yards per game. 4 Louisville has thrown the football 154 times over the last three games, which isn’t a good sign for the Cardinals. Louisville threw the ball 65 times in the loss to Connecticut, which was the most since throwing 65 times in a loss to Syracuse in 2007. In the loss to Syracuse on Nov. 10, the Cardinals threw the football 50 times. 4 The Cardinals are 2-4 under Strong when throwing the football 40 or more times in a game, including a 2-2 mark this season. Louisville threw the ball 40 times in a win over Missouri State and 41 in the overtime win over Cincinnati. On the flip side, the Cardinals are 8-2 under Strong when running the ball 40 or more times in a game.

Butler, Marcus Smith True Freshman Continues Fast Start 4 Head coach Charlie Strong thinks freshman linebacker Keith Brown is going to be something special by the time he finishes his career at Louisville. Starting in place of the injured Daniel Brown, Keith Brown is making the most of his opportunity. He is fourth on the team in tackles with 56 and has 33 tackles in the last five games. He recorded eight tackles in the win over Temple and forced and recovered a fumble. 4 In his first career start, Brown led the Cardinals in tackles with 12 and also had 0.5 tackles for loss in the win over Pittsburgh. Brown added six more tackles in the win over USF on Oct. 20 and added a career-best 13 in the win over Cincinnati

on Oct. 26. Keith Brown Named Freshman All-American 4 University of Louisville freshman linebacker Keith Brown was named a first team freshman All-American by FoxSports.net. Brown becomes the second freshman All-America under head coach Charlie Strong, and the first since quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was tabbed on a number of teams last season. The native of Miami, Fla., played in nine games for the Cardinals and was one of the team’s top tacklers. He stands fifth on team with 56 tackles and has forced and recovered a fumble this season. Making five starts, Brown registered 12 tackles in his first career start against Pitt and added a career-best 13 tackles in an overtime-win over Cincinnati. Repeat Offenders 4 When the Cardinals’ defense took the field against Kentucky on Sept. 2, the entire 11 on defense each started a game on defense a year ago. Safety Hakeem Smith was the only player of the starters against Kentucky to start for all 13 games in 2010. 4 Red-shirt freshman Jermaine Reve made his first career start as a nickel back in the win over Southern Mississippi. True freshman Keith Brown received his first career start against Pittsburgh on Oct.13. 4 The Cardinals had five players start all 12 games this season in defensive end Marcus Smith, linebacker Preston Brown, safeties Hakeem Smith and Calvin Pryor, and cornerback Adrian Bushell. Bushell Makes Recovery 4 Senior cornerback Adrian Bushell continues to be a spark in the defensive backfield. He earned All-BIG EAST accolades for the second-straight season. The product of DeSoto, Texas, is tied for fourth on the team in tackles with a career-best 59. He leads the BIG EAST Conference in recovered fumbles with three and is third in the league with 12 passes defended. He tied a season-high with eight tackles against Connecticut. 4 Bushell also added two pass break-ups against Connecticut to give him a team-best 10 on the season. What P. Brown Has Done For You! 4 Junior linebacker Preston Brown has settled in nicely at his middle linebacker position, especially over the last four games. Brown has taken over the team lead in tackles with 96, which ranks 84th nationally and is fifth in the BIG EAST Conference. He totaled 12 in the loss to Syracuse and added 10 versus Temple and Connecticut. 4 Brown has had five big games in a row, notching 68 tackles in the last six games. He totaled a career-best 17 tackles in the win over USF on Oct. 20 and came back with 13 more stops on Oct. 26 versus Cincinnati. 4 As a sophomore last season, Brown was tied for second on the squad with 84 tackles. Cardinals Have to Create More Turnovers 4 The Cardinals rank 59th in the nation in turnovers forced through the first 12

2012 Louisville Football Defensive/Special Teams Notes games. Louisville has created 12 fumbles and nine interceptions this year after notching two interceptions in the win over Rutgers. The Cardinals failed to turnover the Orange in the 45-26 loss on Nov. 10. It was the second time this year that they failed to create a turnover. 4 Louisville ranks 32nd in the nation in fumbles recovered. The Cardinals have forced 13 turnovers over the last seven games. Strength vs. Weakness 4 The Cardinals will face one of the nation’s better rushing offenses when they face the Florida Gators in the Sugar Bowl. The Gators enter postseason play with the 35th-best rushing offense in the nation, averaging 194.5 yards per game. The Gators have rushed for better than 200 yards in six games, including a season-high versus Tennessee. 4 The Cardinals rank 52nd in the country against the run, yielding 151.1 yards per game. They have given up more than 190 yards in five games this year, including 278 in a loss to Syracuse. 4 The Gators average 4.6 yards per carry, while the Cardinals’ defense allows 4.3 yards a carry.

have tallied five special teams scores and four defensive touchdowns. The last score on defense came when Malcolm Mitchell returned a fumble versus Connecticut and senior Adrian Bushell returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown in 2011.

Need Returns and Need to Stop Returns 4 The Cardinals have been solid in the return game the last couple of seasons, but need to get their special teams going against Florida in the Sugar Bowl. After 12 games, the Cardinals rank 116th in kickoff returns with an average of 17.8 yards a return, while Louisville fell a little in punt returns to 105t at 4.2 yards a return. 4 Kai Dominguez had a season-high 30-yard punt return in the win over FIU on Sept. 22. Senior cornerback Adrian Bushell leads the team at 19.6 yards a kick return and owns the longest return of the season at 42 yards. 4 The Cardinals have to do a better job in stopping the kick returners, as the Cardinals rank 107th in kickoff return yardage defense, allowing 24.30 yards a return. However, in the last two games, the Cardinals are allowing just 17.4 yards a return. Wallace Continues to Impress 4 Red-shirt freshman place kicker John Wallace remains one of the biggest surprises in a season full of surprises. Wallace is 14-of-17 on the season after hitting two field goals in the win over Rutgers, including the game-winning 29-yarder with 1:41 to play in the game. He blasted a 20-yard field in the second quarter. His three misses have come on a 47-yard attempt against Rutgers, a 46-yarder on versus Connecticut and a 57-yarder against Cincinnati. Wallace is tied for 37th in the country in field goals per game at 1.27. 4 Wallace missed the Missouri State game with a leg injury, but returned in a big way to help the Cardinals win over North Carolina on Sept. 15. Wallace connected on a pair of field goals in six games this season. He booted two in a 39-34 win over North Carolina. Wallace connected on a 22-yard field goal and provided the only points in the second half when he drilled a career-long 45-yard field goal. The product of Central Hardin High School is 2-for-4 from 40+ yards, connecting a career longs of 45 yards versus Missouri State and Pittsburgh. He is 11-for-11 from 19-39 yards this year. 4 Wallace was named a freshman All-American honorable mention by CollegeFootballNews.com for his play this season.

Johnson Getting it Done 4 Sophomore punter Ryan Johnson remains one of the most consistent special teams players. In his first-year as the starting punter, Johnson is averaging 39.5 yards per punt with a career-long of 57 yards. He has placed 19 punts inside the 20-yard line and has blasted five punts of 50 yards or longer. He punted a career-high nine times on Nov. 24 versus Connecticut. Scoring on Defense and Special Teams 4 The Cardinals have found different ways to score besides the conventional ways on offense.

Head Coach

CHARLIE STRONG

Head Coach • tHIRD sEASON • 24-14 (.632) rECORD AT lOUISVILLE

Charlie Strong, the 2012 BIG EAST Coach of the Year, is his third season with the Cardinals, and has the program on a tremendous path to success. With the Cardinals’ win in the 2012 regular-season finale against at Rutgers, Strong earned his second consecutive conference championship as a head coach (2011 and 2012), and guide Louisville to a BCS berth in the 2013 Allstate Sugar Bowl - the school’s second BCS berth. The Cardinals finished the regular season at 10-2 overall after jumping out to a school-record 9-0 start. The 10 wins were the most since the 2006 team went 12-1 and was only the fifth 10-win season in school history. Eight student-athletes earned All-BIG EAST accolades in 2012, including BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year Teddy Bridgewater. Bridgewater, a sophomore quarterback, was a first team selection after throwing for 3.452 yards and 25 touchdowns. Senior Adrian Bushell was a two-time first-team All-BIG EAST selection and safety Hakeem Smith earn all-league honors for the third consecutive season. Despite being a defensive-minded coach, the Cardinals were one of the best passing teams in the country, using a passing attack to score 30 or more points in six games. Strong, who was named the head coach at Louisville on Dec. 9, 2009, holds a 24-14 career mark, has three bowl appearances and two league championships to his credit in three seasons as a collegiate head coach. The native of Batesville, Ark., was named the BIG EAST Coach of the Year in 2012 and 2010. Since arriving in Louisville, Strong has made an immediate impact, building a staff of championship-level coaches and teachers, as well as an atmosphere of competition and family, while also overseeing an academic program of great success. After 27 years as an assistant coach, Strong was awarded his first head coaching opportunity, and made the most of it in his first season. Louisville improved from 4-8 in 2009 to a 7-6 records, including a win in the Beef `O’Brady’s Bowl in 2010, thanks to an attacking, stingy defense. The Cardinals, with a senior-laden team, battled through the year, and earned their first bowl trip since 2006 with a 40-13 win over Rutgers in the season finale. The 2011 season was a microcosm of things to come. After getting off to a 2-4 start, Strong was awarded a new seven-year contract extension that would keep him with the Cardinals until the 2017 campaign. Louisville responded with five wins in its final six games to win a league title and eventually lose to NC State 31-24 in the Belk Bowl. The loss dropped the Cardinals record to 7-6 for the second-straight season, but it was obvious what was on the horizon. The former long-time assistant coach with the Florida Gators became the 21st head coach at Louisville when he was officially introduced as the Cardinals’ head coach. No stranger to success, Strong has coached in 20 bowl games as an assistant and has won a pair of national titles at Florida. He helped the Gators to national titles in 2009 with a win over Oklahoma and in 2007 with a dominating win over Ohio State. He has also worked for three different head coaches who have won national championships in former Florida coach Urban Meyer, South Carolina’s Steve Spurrier and former Notre Dame head coach Lou Holtz. Prior to taking over at Louisville, Strong was considered one of the top defensive coordinators in the nation after coaching the Gators from 2003-2009 and building some of the nation’s top defenses. He had four different tenures with the Gators from 2003-09; 1991-94 and 1988-89, and as a graduate assistant in 1983-84. During his tenure at Florida, he has coached 13 All-Americans, a National Defensive Player of the Year, a Jack Tatum Award winner, two SEC Defensive Fresh-

men of the Year, two Thorpe Award finalists, two Nagurski Trophy finalists and the 2008 Chevrolet Defensive Player of the Year. He has developed seven first-round NFL Draft picks and 18 players that were selected in the third round or higher. In 2010, cornerback Joe Haden was the seventh pick in the NFL Draft to the Cleveland Browns, while Carlos Dunlap, Brandon Spikes, Jermaine Cunningham and Major Wright were all selected in the first three rounds. In 2009, Strong guided one of the nation’s top defensive units, finishing in the top five in four different statistical categories. UF was third in the nation in scoring defense (11.54 ppg), third in pass defense (151.46), fourth in total defense (253.08) and fifth in pass efficiency defense (93.91) in leading the Gators to a 12-1 record and a trip to the SEC Championship game for the third time in Strong’s tenure as the defensive coordinator. Five members of his 2009 defense earned first or second All-SEC accolades. Strong was named a finalist for the Frank Broyles Award, given to the nation’s top assistant coach for the second straight year, and is the only second three-time finalist in the history of the award. Strong’s defense in 2008 ranked in the top 20 nationally in 10 statistical categories, including a school-record tying 26 interceptions that also tied for the most in the country that season. UF’s scoring defense showed the third-largest improvement from the 2007 season to the 2008 season, finishing fifth in the nation by yielding only 12.9 points per game. His most impressive output of the season came in the 2009 FedEx BCS National Championship Game versus Oklahoma, which entered the contest with a nation’s best 54.0 scoring average. The Gators held the highest-scoring offense in the history of college football and the Heisman-winning quarterback Sam Bradford to just 14 points and 363 total yards in Florida’s 24-14 win to guide the Gators to their second national title in three years. For his outstanding work in 2008, Strong was named a finalist for the Broyles Award for the second time in his career. Strong also coached a group of linebackers that included consensus first-team All-American and repeat first-team All-SEC performer Spikes, who was a finalist for the 2008 Bronko Nagurski Award. In his seven years at UF as defensive coordinator, the Gators intercepted 131 passes, the third-highest total in the nation and the most in the SEC during the last seven seasons.

Coaching experience

A tenacious recruiter, Strong was named one of the nation’s top-25 best recruiters by Rivals.com for his part in inking the 2007 signing class that was ranked No. 1 by most outlets. He was also a vital part in helping Florida lead the SEC in rushing defense for the second straight season while surrendering only 103.3 yards per game, registering as the 10th-best nationally.

In 2006, Strong helped guide the Gator defense that limited opponents to a league-best 72.5 rushing yards per game. That figure marked the second-lowest total in school history, and stood nearly 25 yards better than the next-best team in the SEC. The Gators’ run defense ranked fifth nationally in 2006, while they rated sixth in the nation in total defense with an average of 255.4 yards per contest.

Three members of the UF defense earned All-America recognition and six players received All-SEC honors in 2006. Since the 2003 season, Strong’s defensive units at Florida allowed an average of 17.6 points per game, which ranks ninth in the country over that span, have forced a mind-boggling 193 turnovers and an average of 308.6 yards per contest.

Taking over the play-calling duties, Watson’s offense averaged 23.4 points per game and 200.0 yards through the air with one of the youngest offensive units in the country. After five seasons at Nebraska, including four as the offensive coordinator, Watson owns an impressive resume with 30 years of college coaching experience, including three years as a head coach at Southern Illinois from 1994-96.

Barker went on to earn ACC All-Freshman Team honors. For four seasons, Borbely worked as the offensive line coach at Colorado for Gary Barnett. His resume also includes stops at Notre Dame, Stanford, Tulane, Temple, and Rice. During Borbely's four seasons at Colorado, the Buffs advanced to three bowl appearances and captured the Big 12 Northern Division on three occasions.

In his first two seasons with the Cardinals, Moorer has directed a spirted and productive program that has gone to a pair of bowl games in his first two seasons after missing post-season play for three years prior to their arrival. Prior to coming to the Derby City, Moorer took over as the director of strength and conditioning at South Carolina, where he managed four strength facilities and eight strength and conditioning coaches. He was the Director of Strength and Conditioning from 1999-2009. He was presented with the certification of Master Strength and Conditioning Coach by the Collegiate Strength & Conditioning Coaches Association in 2006. This is the highest honor that can be achieved in the coaching profession of Strength and Conditioning. It represents professionalism, knowledge, experience, expertise, as well as longevity in the field. Moorer joined the South Carolina staff in June 1999 from the University of Illinois, where he served as the director of strength and conditioning for three years (1997-99). Moorer earned his Bachelor of Science in health and human performance from Florida in 1992.

After graduating from Florida, Moorer was a linebacker for the San Diego Chargers in 1990 before moving to the Frankfurt (Germany) Galaxy of the World Professional League (later NFL Europe) in 1991-92. Moorer returned to Florida in 1992 as assistant strength and conditioning and was named Coordinator of Strength and Conditioning in 1995, a position he held until his move to Illinois in 1997.

No. 25 Cardinals Triumph Over Wildcats to Open Season, 32-14 LOUISVILLE, Ky. - For No. 25 Louisville, playing a game it could boast about was just as important as bragging rights against in-state rival Kentucky.

ter, though not by much. Last year's Big East Conference rookie of the year faced little pressure from Kentucky and ended up completing 10 of his first 11 passes and 19 of 21 overall for 232 yards to nine targets.

The Cardinals succeeded on both counts Sunday.

Other than a 75-yard scoring drive that briefly brought Kentucky within 8-7 in the first quarter, the Wildcats' offense found little room against a Cardinals defense that had sophomore quarterback Maxwell Smith covered in many facets.

Jeremy Wright ran for 105 yards and three touchdowns and Louisville opened the game with three long scoring drives en route to a 32-14 victory against the Wildcats. That claimed the Governor's Cup for the second year in a row while ending a three-game home losing streak to Kentucky. More memorable for Louisville was the thorough way it was achieved. The Cardinals moved the ball at will against the Wildcats, gaining 314 of their 466 yards in the first half thanks to touchdown drives of 99, 85 and 93 yards. Partial credit for that goes to a more experienced line that protected sophomore quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and created huge holes for the running game. Wright and fellow Senorise Perry did a lot on their own, too. Nearly a third of Wright's yards came on the opening drive as he gained 30 on eight carries and ran for the first of two 1-yard scores. He added a 14-yarder in the second quarter. Perry added 108 on 16 carries including a 47-yard TD that made it 15-7. The Cardinals had 141 yards rushing after those three TD drives, nearly 20 above last season's 121.5 average per game that ranked 93rd nationally. Their contributions almost overshadowed Bridgewa-

No. 23 Cardinals Roll Past Missouri State LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Teddy Bridgewater’s best day kept No. 23 Louisville’s offense rolling against Missouri State on Saturday, and the Cardinals’ defense held up its end in a 35-7 win. Bridgewater again provided the spark, completing 30 of 39 passes for a career-high 344 yards and touchdowns to tight ends Nate Nord and Ryan Hubbell. Like last week’s win against Kentucky, he got everybody involved early and often, with seven of his 10 targets catching at least three passes.

first half, and safety Calvin Pryor intercepted Glaser’s deep pass at the 15. “I think they are very deserving of their top-(25) ranking,” Missouri State Coach Terry Allen said. “Great control of the line of scrimmage defensively, which kept their offense and our defense on the field way too long in the first half.”

“He’s what, 19?” Nord said. “He plays like he’s in his 30s. He’s just fun to play with. Everybody wants to help him.” Despite nine penalties, Louisville coach Charlie Strong ended the week generally more encouraged than he began it. “I am very pleased with the victory, but what’s frustrating is that we played hard but did not play smart,” he said. “If you look at last week, our offense ran pretty well and then this week we sputtered in the first half. ... Defensively, we were able to make some plays.” Charles Gaines had a game-high 73 yards including a 55-yard deep ball, while Eli Rogers had six receptions. More important was that Louisville’s defense redeemed itself a week after allowing 373 yards to Kentucky. The Cardinals (2-0) held FCS Missouri State (0-2) to 249 yards, including just 156 through three quarters. Louisville’s defense meanwhile did well holding Missouri State’s spread offense in check.

No. 19 Cardinals Hold Off Tar Heels, 39-34 Louisville went from cruising to 3-0 to desperately trying to remain undefeated. Andrew Johnson deflected a fourth-down pass in the end zone by North Carolina’s Bryn Renner with 1:53 left to give the Cardinals a 39-34 victory against the Tar Heels on Saturday. Leading 36-7 at halftime behind quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and up by 25 early in the fourth quarter, Louisville survived a 20-point rally by Renner, who passed for five touchdowns and just saw a sixth go off Johnson’s fingertips. “We had to come up with a big-time play in a big-time game,” Johnson said. “I saw (Tar Heels receiver Erik Highsmith) jump and I knew I would outjump him, so I got my hand on the ball and tried to strip the ball. ... But with (losing) such a big lead, no coach should be happy.”

Carolina (1-2), which rallied from a 21-14 deficit to briefly lead at Wake Forest before ultimately falling 28-27. It was also the Tar Heels second straight game without star tailback Giovani Bernard. At the start, North Carolina was out of sync and dug its hole with two first-half turnovers that Louisville quickly converted. Right after Louisville marched 62 yards for its first touchdown and a 6-0 lead, Renner lofted a pass right at Louisville’s Marcus Smith. Bridgewater made it 12-0 on the next play, eluding the rush to find Charles Gaines wide open in the end zone on a post pattern.

Cardinals’ coach Charlie Strong certainly wasn’t, despite the best start of his three-year tenure. While Louisville has proven it can score quickly and in bunches, it has also allowed Kentucky and Missouri State to regroup in the second half. That annoying pattern almost cost them against the Tar Heels (1-2). “At the end of the day we still won the football game,” Strong said. “We have us a good team and we just need to learn how to finish.” Louisville scored on its first six possessions thanks to three first-half touchdowns and 218 yards by Bridgewater. He finished 23 of 28 for 279. It marked a second consecutive close loss for North

Football Takes Down FIU, 28-21 MIAMI, Fla. - Teddy Bridgewater had more incompletions on Saturday night than he had in Louisville’s first three games combined. Even that wasn’t enough to spoil his homecoming. Bridgewater passed for two touchdowns and ran for another score in the return to his home city, and No. 20 Louisville remained unbeaten by holding off Florida International 28-21 on Saturday night. Senorise Perry rushed for 74 yards for the Cardinals (4-0), who trailed for the first time this season before controlling the second half. “We were able to finish,” Louisville coach Charlie Strong said.

at quarterback and was 9 for 10 for 82 yards and a touchdown for the Panthers. “E.J came in and did a great job,” Bridgewater said. “I take my hat off to him.” There was a group of people wearing shirts with Bridgewater’s name on the back waiting in a downpour outside the stadium two hours before kickoff, mainly friends and family awaiting his return to Miami. Bridgewater was a standout at Miami Northwestern before going to Louisville. He had gone 96 passes without an interception to start the year before he was picked off by FIU’s Johnathan Cyprien late in the first quarter.

A week ago, the Cardinals ran out to a 36-7 halftime lead before giving up 29 second-half points and barely hanging on to top North Carolina. And for long stretches on Saturday night, Louisville which lost by a touchdown at home to FIU last season - didn’t exactly look sharp, either. Bridgewater came into the game 72 for 88 on the season with five touchdowns and no interceptions. Against FIU, he completed 19 of 36 passes - one more incompletion than he put up against Kentucky, Missouri State and North Carolina combined - for 194 yards and two interceptions. “The win means a lot for this program,” Bridgewater said. “We’re 4-0 now. We’re happy.” Jake Medlock completed 10 of 16 passes for 116 yards. E.J. Hilliard - who took over at Miami Northwestern High, one of South Florida’s fabled programs, when Bridgewater went to college - replaced Medlock

Second-Half Rally Propels Cardinals Past Southern Miss HATTIESBURG, Miss. - Senorise Perry sloshed through the standing water and driving rain, bouncing off several Southern Miss defenders on his way to the end zone. With one last stumble, the 198-pound back lurched past the goal line and scored what proved to be the game-winning touchdown in No. 19 Louisville’s 21-17 victory over Southern Mississippi at waterlogged Roberts Stadium. It wasn’t pretty. Then again, nothing about this game will be remembered for artistry.

a field goal, but as a running back we are coached to look for the end zone,” Perry said. “When the hole opened up, I just tried to muscle it in.” Southern Miss (0-4) had a chance to win on the final drive, but a halfback pass by Desmond Johnson fell incomplete on fourth down. “Defensively, we were able to get the big stops,” Strong said. “When we played well it sparked our whole team. They had the drive there at the end and we just kept bringing the pressure and found a way to get one more stop.”

“For us to come in and survive the conditions we played under tonight just speaks volumes about our team,” Louisville coach Charlie Strong said. Perry rushed for 118 yards and two touchdowns and Jeremy Wright added 84 rushing yards as the Cardinals (5-0) continued their best start since 2006. They trailed 17-6 midway through the second quarter, but scored 15 unanswered points for the win, even though star quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was rendered nearly useless because of the driving rain that soaked the turf for nearly the entire night. With Bridgewater largely a bystander, Perry scored both touchdowns during the rally. His 1-yard score pulled Louisville within 17-12 just before halftime and his final touchdown run - on third-and-goal from the 14 - proved to be the game winner. Even Perry was surprised he ended up in the end zone. “I was just trying to get us in better field position for

Perry’s Career-High Day Propels Cards Past Pitt, 45-35 PITTSBURGH - Senorise Perry rushed for 101 yards and a career-high four touchdowns to help No. 18 Louisville race by Pittsburgh 45-35 on Saturday. Teddy Bridgewater passed for 304 yards for the Cardinals (6-0, 1-0 Big East), including a 75-yard score to DeVante Parker on the first play of the second half as Louisville continued its best start since 2006.

the break, and Bridgewater and Parker made sure the Cardinals held on to the momentum. Taking over at the Louisville 25 to start the second half, Bridgewater dropped back and found a streaking Parker down the left sideline. The sophomore receiver hauled it in and beat a pair of defenders to the end zone to give Louisville its first lead.

Parker’s score came in the middle of a 24-point burst by Louisville spanning the second and third quarters that turned a seven-point deficit into a 38-21 lead. Tino Sunseri passed for 287 yards and two touchdowns but Pitt (2-4, 0-3) couldn’t complete a late rally. Trailing by 10 with five minutes to play, Pitt went for it on fourth down deep in Louisville territory rather than attempt a field goal. Sunseri’s pass was off the mark and Perry finished off the Panthers with a 59-yard sprint down the left sideline. Louisville began the season as the overwhelming Big East favorite but some of the shine was stripped away by sluggish road wins at overmatched Florida International and Southern Mississippi coupled with the impressive starts by No. 20 Rutgers and No. 21 Cincinnati. The Cardinals have been parked toward the bottom of the Top 25 all season and were the last Football Bowl Subdivision team in the country to play a conference game. Louisville took its time getting going against Pitt, but left little doubt after finding its footing. A 27-yard strike from Bridgewater to Parker late in the first half set up a field goal that trimmed Pittsburgh’s lead to 21-17 at

No. 16 Louisville Rallies Past South Florida, 27-25 LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Louisville’s perfect start appeared to be over before Teddy Bridgewater came up with one more big play. Bridgewater threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Eli Rogers with 1:35 left, and the 16th-ranked Cardinals edged South Florida 27-25 on Saturday for their best beginning to season since 2006. Louisville (7-0, 2-0 Big East) rallied after yielding 15 straight points to South Florida and a season-high 197 yards rushing. B.J. Daniels threw three TD passes in the second half, the last one putting South Florida ahead 25-21 with 3:09 left. The Bulls had one last chance for the win, but Adrian Bushell intercepted Daniels’ last-gasp throw as time ran out, well short of the end zone.

Demetris Murray couldn’t score on third down. Then Daniels pushed up through the left side on fourth down and into the end zone. But officials flagged Louisville defensive end Marcus Smith for jumping offsides, forcing South Florida to line up one more time. Daniels kept the ball and was stopped yet again, sparking a big celebration by Louisville. DeDe Lattimore blocked John Wallace’s extra point, giving the Bulls a chance to win with only a field goal. But the Cardinals got their fourth sack of Daniels on the opening play of the resulting drive. With no timeouts, the Bulls’ last gasp came on third-and-10 when Bushell grabbed Daniels’ last pass.

South Florida (2-5, 0-3) has dropped five straight games. It has just one win in its last 12 conference games dating to last season. Louisville finished with four sacks and a big goal-line stand late in the third quarter. Bridgewater was 21 of 25 for 256 yards and two TDs, and the sophomore quarterback also led the Cardinals with 74 yards rushing on 10 carries. South Florida outgained Louisville 386-384, and the Bulls grabbed the lead by scoring 15 straight points after Louisville stopped them during a goal-line stand in the third quarter when South Florida thought it had scored not once but twice. First, Lindsey Lamar appeared to score on first-andgoal on a 4-yard run. But officials ruled Lamar down at the 1. Daniels tried to sneak in and was stopped.

Wallace’s Field Goal Seals Overtime Victory Over Cincinnati LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Teddy Bridgewater and No. 16 Louisville trailed by 10 on two different occasions and rallied each time. The undefeated Cardinals kept their cool, even when a botched snap almost cost them the game. John Wallace kicked a 30-yard field goal in overtime to lift Louisville to a 34-31 victory over the Bearcats after an attempt to ice the redshirt freshman went horribly wrong for the Bearcats. Cincinnati got the ball first in OT but Terell Floyd intercepted Munchie Legaux’s floater in the end zone and the Cardinals drove 12 yards to set up Wallace’s kick.

Parker gave the Cardinals the lead with a 64-yard catch-and-run with 1:56 remaining, but the Bearcats (5-2, 1-1) tied it at 31 on Legaux’s 26-yard pass to Damon Julian with just over a minute left. Louisville stopped a four-game slide in the series against Cincinnati and captured the Keg of Nails trophy that goes to the winner of the rivalry. Bridgewater overcame a slow start and completed 24 of 41 passes for 416 yards and the pair of TD strikes to Parker, who had four catches for 120 yards. Legaux ran for a score but tossed three interceptions, including the costly mistake in overtime.

Bearcats coach Butch Jones called timeout right before the field-goal attempt, and the high snap went through the holder’s hands. Jones just shrugged and Wallace drilled the ball through the uprights to give Louisville the win. “I was calm and cool,” said Wallace, who was carried off the field on his teammates’ shoulders. “I had a lot of confidence.” Bridgewater connected with DeVante Parker for two terrific touchdowns after the Cardinals (8-0, 3-0 Big East) fell behind 24-14 with 10:26 left in the third quarter. Parker’s tying 30-yard grab in the fourth was initially ruled incomplete. He juggled the ball near the back of the end zone but brought it in with one foot inbounds, and it was changed to a touchdown after a replay review. “That was a big-time, big-time play right there,” Louisville coach Charlie Strong said.

No. 12 Cards Start Slow but Finish Strong in 45-17 Win Over Temple LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Louisville’s Teddy Bridgewater and the No. 12 Cardinals did it again. The sophomore quarterback threw for five touchdowns in another stellar game to help the Cardinals rally from a deficit for the sixth game in a row - albeit an early one, this time - as Louisville beat Temple 4517 on Saturday. “To see the game Teddy had, five touchdowns,” Louisville coach Charlie Strong said. “What is unbelievable about Teddy is that he is just able to find open receivers.”

While Bridgewater and the offense played Cardinal football from the start, Louisville’s defense and special teams were slow to get going. “The way we started off this day I didn’t know if I’d be standing here saying we have a chance to go 9-0,” Strong said. “Defensively, we didn’t play well. We were just missing too many tackles.” The Cardinals recovered four fumbles, three in the second half. Louisville’s defensive performance led to Temple playing three different quarterbacks. “The turnovers definitely killed us,” Temple running back Montel Harris said. “They have a great offense, so we couldn’t afford to make mistakes on offense.”

Louisville (9-0, 4-0 Big East) scored on five of its first six possessions. The Cardinals, off to their best start in school history, moved into a first-place tie with Rutgers. A major reason for that is Bridgewater. He picked the Owls apart, throwing for 324 yards on 19 of 28 passing. Louisville’s offense was nearly unstoppable. “You can’t predict games like these,” he said. “It just comes, and we’re thankful to have this type of success.” Strong doesn’t talk about the unprecedented start with his team. But the players were mindful of making history. “Going into this week we were aware (of the record) and we were trying to make history,” Bridgewater said. “We didn’t want to press or anything, so we just went out and played Cardinal football.”

No. 11 Louisville Falls to Syracuse, 45-26 SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Louisville’s run at a perfect season can came to an end when Syracuse’s Ryan Nassib threw for 246 yards and three touchdowns to give No. 11 Louisville its first loss of the season in a 45-26 victory on Saturday. “We didn’t play well - the preparation and the execution weren’t there. We didn’t play well in all three phases. We have a lot to learn from this game. Now we have to go back. We have two more games and have to see where this football team is. This was a good experience for us - to come into a hostile environment and see how we could play and we just didn’t play well today.” Louisville coach Charlie Strong said.

just a lack of execution. The Cardinals, who are off next Saturday, still play Connecticut and Rutgers. “They played well today. You have to give them credit for playing so hard,” Cardinals linebacker Preston Brown said of the Orange. “It’s disappointing having all this (a perfect season) down the drain. But we can still win the Big East.”

Defensive back Hakeem Smith and quarterback Teddy Bridgewater were all too quick to agree. “They came out and got us. There’s not a lot of talking (in the locker room) right now. We just have to push on. We’re going to bounce back.” Smith said. The Orange (5-5, 4-2 Big East) blew the game open with three touchdowns in the second quarter and Louisville (9-1, 4-1) allowed more points than it had in any game this season. Syracuse is a win away from bowl eligibility with road games against Missouri and Temple left. Jerome Smith ran for 144 yards for Syracuse and Prince-Tyson Gulley added 98 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Bridgewater completed 36-of-49 passes for 426 and three touchdowns for Louisville, who fell into second place behind Rutgers in the Big East race. “They played the deep ball, but they still had guys make plays underneath,” said Bridgewater. “It was nothing new, nothing we hadn’t seen all week.

No. 19 Louisville Drops 3OT Contest to UConn, 23-20 LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Louisville’s second straight loss is a minor concern compared to Cardinals’ quarterback Teddy Bridgewater’s ability to play the rest of the season. Bridgewater injured his non-throwing left wrist while being sacked late in the second quarter Saturday against Connecticut. But he returned with 4:55 remaining in the third quarter and orchestrated a gametying, 92-yard drive ending with a 6-yard touchdown pass to DeVante Parker to force overtime. The Huskies won 23-20 in the game’s third extra period on Chad Christen’s 30-yard field goal. Connecticut cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson’s interception of Bridgewater set up the game-winning kick.

that should determine the Big East title. “He’s a tough soldier. I know he’ll be out there for this last game,” wide receiver Damian Copeland said. “He just showed me how much he wants it.” The Cardinals (9-2, 4-2 Big East Conference) dropped their second straight after their first 9-0 start in school history. But the team’s preseason goal of a BCS bowl bid is still possible with a win Thursday at first-place Rutgers. “We’re still alive. Rutgers end up getting beat today so we’re still alive,” Strong said of the Scarlet Knights’ 27-6 loss at Pittsburgh.

Bridgewater also came out of the game in the first overtime with a left ankle issue but returned to throw a 25-yard touchdown to Parker on the first play of the second extra frame. “The leg injury is fine,” Louisville coach Charlie Strong said after the game. “I would say he either fractured or broke his wrist.” Bridgewater finished the game 30 of 53 for 331 yards and two touchdowns. He was receiving treatment after the game and unavailable for comment. While his teammates went to the locker room at halftime, Bridgewater went for an X-ray and came back to the sidelines as the second half began, with his left arm in a cast. Bridgewater operated solely out of the shotgun after the wrist injury but Strong said his sophomore signal caller would be able to play in five days in the game

Cardinals Defeat Rutgers, Clinch BCS Bid PISCATAWAY, N.J. - Teddy Bridgewater couldn’t take a snap from center because of a broken wrist, and had a hitch in his step because of a sore ankle. The Louisville quarterback was too banged-up to start, but more than well enough to finish off Rutgers and send the Cardinals to the Bowl Championship Series. Bridgewater came off the bench to throw two-second half touchdown passes, and John Wallace kicked a 29-yard field goal with 1:41 left to give Louisville a 2017 victory against Rutgers on Thursday night in what was essentially the Big East championship game.

the third quarter to wipe out a 14-3 deficit. “They have a tremendous playmaker at the quarterback position,” first-year Rutgers coach Kyle Flood said. Louisville can add one of the biggest wins in school history to an already memorable week for the school, which was in Conference USA just eight years ago. On Wednesday, Louisville announced it was joining the ACC after at least one more season in the Big East.

In a game between one team headed to the Big Ten and another bound for the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Big East handed out its second-to-last BCS bid to a school that entered the league during its last massive rebuild in 2005 and watched its athletic program blossom. The Cardinals will be going to the BCS for the second time, first since 2006. Either the Orange or Sugar Bowl will be the destination. Louisville (10-2, 5-2) will share this Big East title with Rutgers (9-3, 5-2), Syracuse and possibly even Cincinnati, but those guys only get a banner. The Cardinals get the ticket to the big game. The BCS standings will be used to break the tie and there is no doubt Louisville, with the best overall record in the conference, will be on top. Bridgewater didn’t start a week after getting roughed up in a loss to Connecticut. He broke his left wrist and sprained his right ankle. He entered for the first time against Rutgers in the second quarter and finished 20 for 28 for 263 yards and threw a pair of TD passes in
