LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) James Quick made the most of being an injured bystander, a learning experience that has helped the Louisville receiver thrive since his return to the lineup.
Sidelined for two-plus games after hurting his ankle in the opener against Auburn, the Cardinals junior viewed more game film and made mental notes of his younger replacements' movements. Both tasks were helpful but also difficult for Quick, who watched Louisville begin 0-3 for the first time since 1984.
Quick said the extra study during his absence made him smarter and hungrier, which ultimately he hopes will make the Cardinals (2-4, 1-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) better.
