Within minutes of kickoff, this one looked over. The Louisville Cardinals, with third-string quarterback Kyle Bolin under center, drove right down the field and scored on a Syracuse Orange defense that looked completely out-manned on the four-play possession. A quick three and out by SU after had us all thinking gloom-and-doom, but a timely interception by Cordell Hudson breathed new life into the Orange.
Following the INT, Eric Dungey led the team down the field quickly, culminating in an Ervin Philips scamper into the end zone. And on another nice drive, the Orange came away with a field goal and a 10-7 lead.
