The Louisville Cardinals faced off against the No. 6 Miami Hurricanes in a thrilling shootout, and looked to hold onto Howard Schnellenberger’s boots after last year’s thriller in the Orange Bowl.
Expectations vs. reality
Louisville was the first to receive the ball, and promptly went three-and-out. After punting the ball away, Miami marched down the field on a 12-play drive and struck first with a 55-yard field goal by Andres Borregales.
But Louisville responded quickly, once again going three-and-out but the third play was Isaac Brown braking free for a 43-yard touchdown run, giving the Cardinals a brief 7-3 lead.
