The Louisville Cardinals suffered a tough loss to SMU at L&N Stadium, putting their postseason hopes into doubt.
Another slow start
SMU struck first after electing to receive the opening kickoff, driving 75-yards on eight plays culminating in a five-yard touchdown run by Roderick Daniels Jr. Falling behind by seven, Louisville quickly responded with Tyler Shough connecting with Ja’Corey Brooks for a six-yard touchdown pass, quickly tying the game at 7-7.
However, SMU marched right back down the field. When Kevin Jennings got injured for a play, Preston Stone stepped right in and threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Key’Shawn Smith, making it 7-14.
