Coming off a bye week the Cardinals were desperate for a win against longtime foe Pittsburgh to keep any hopes of bowl eligibility alive.
The first half was a slog as the defenses stole the show and slowed down some of the firepower we expected to see from Pittsburgh’s or Louisville’s rushing attacks.
Pitt’s Israel Abanikanda finished the game with 129 yards on 28 carries and a TD, but Louisville got the stops when they needed them most to prevent him from causing to much damage.
Yasir Abdullah was the MVP of the game as he game up big in nearly every pivotal situation.
