The Louisville Cardinals held off yet another late surge from Virginia to secure a victory at Scott Stadium.
Close with few cigars
Louisville got out to about as bad a start as someone could have dreaded. Virginia took their opening drive 75-yards on 11 plays with a one-yard touchdown run by Grady Brosterhous to cap it off.
On their own first possession, Louisville’s offense struggled. The Cards failed to capitalize on an 11-play drive of their own, falling short on a fourth-and-on attempt and turning the ball over on downs.
The defenses for both teams found their footing as the next three drives all ended in punts.
