After the disappointing home loss to in-state rival Kentucky last season, the Cards traveled to Lexington and brought the Governor’s Cup back home to Louisville. Louisville dominated from the beginning, they never turning the ball over and scored on every drive except the one that ran out the final seconds. Louisville defeated Kentucky 44-17. Lamar…
No. 19 Louisville (3-0) looks to build off their dominant performance last game when they face off against SFU (2-2) tonight at 7pm. Once again, the Cards face a lesser opponent in the last of their 4-game home stand. Louisville should have no problem tonight against SFU. What I want to see is whether or…
The No. 19 Louisville Cardinals (2-0) play host to SIU (2-0) tonight at 7pm in the KFC YUM! Center. While Louisville sits at 2-0, their two wins haven’t been by as big of margins as expected. SIU comes into this game posing a little more of a challenge than the Cards’ previous two opponents, but…
In the last home game of the season, Louisville turned in its best total performance of the season. The Cards defeated the visiting Orange by a final score of 56-10. Louisville started early, scoring within the game’s first minute on a 46-yard touchdown run by Malik Williams. The Cards never looked back and routed Syracuse…
After their closer than expected win over George Mason last Sunday, Louisville hosts Omaha tonight at 7pm with the goal of making a statement. As of now, Louisville is a 27.5-point favorite over the visitors and rightfully so. Omaha is 0-3 and is averaging 100 points allowed to their 80 points scored so far this…
It certainly wasn’t pretty and it took much longer to get full separation than expected, but the Louisville Cardinals got their first win of the season against George Mason by a final score of 72-61. Louisville sputtered offensively at times, and while Deng Adel turned in an impressive performance, freshmen Jordan Nwora and Darius Perry…
If you’re reading this, we made it. After a long offseason full of turmoil, slander, and changes, basketball season is finally here. Louisville begins its season today against visiting George Mason at 2pm inside the KFC Yum! Center as 19-point favorites. It’s no secret that this is David Padgett’s first season as Louisville’s…
The Louisville Cardinals defeated the visiting Cavaliers of Virginia today by a final score of 38-21. After the bye week, Louisville bounced back from the loss at Wake Forest two weeks ago with a solid performance today. Lamar Jackson did Lamar Jackson things today, accounting for 4 touchdowns (3 passing, 1 rushing) with 195…
In Louisville’s last exhibition before their Sunday opener against George Mason, Louisville defeated Bellarmine 72-57. Louisville was led in scoring by Deng Adel with 21 points headlined by a nasty baseline reverse slam. VJ King chipped in 14 points of his own, and Anas Mahmoud finished with 9 points and 11 rebounds. Up next: Louisville…
The Louisville Basketball team took the floor tonight in an exhibition game against in-state foe Kentucky Wesleyan. Louisville was expectedly too much to handle for Kentucky Wesleyan and won with a final score of 101-64. Louisville was led tonight by strong performances from Ray Spalding (15 points, 7 rebounds), Deng Adel (12 points), Anas Mahmoud…
After defeating FSU 31-28 last week, Louisville took another step back today losing 42-32 at Wake Forest. The theme of the loss was the defense, once again. Wake had their first 400 passing game since 1998 and had a freshman set a Wake record with 4 receiving touchdowns. As if Peter Sirmon’s seat wasn’t hot…
No, you didn’t miss the ceremony. No, the award hasn’t been announced. And no, Lamar Jackson isn’t even mentioned in some “expert’s” lists for Heisman. This article isn’t predicting the future, its purpose is to educate those who say Lamar is having a “down year” and shouldn’t be a Heisman candidate. Make no mistake, the…
Well, Louisville battled, looked inspired, and fought through adversity to defeat FSU 31-28 in Tallahassee. It wasn’t pretty, at all. But it was a successful road trip that put this team in a much better position than they were in before the game clock hit zeros. Louisville started hot early, with Lamar rushing for an…
After allowing what I saw at PJCS yesterday to digest, I feel stable enough to finally write about it. Louisville entered yesterday’s game against Boston College as a 19-point favorite at home, but walked away with a 45-42 loss. The talk all week had been, “I don’t think we’ll lose, but I’ll need to see…
Two weeks ago, the college basketball world was turned upside-down for a handful of schools. The FBI had uncovered 3 years of information into their investigation covering shoe companies, powerhouse division programs, and illegal benefits given to recruits. Some, like Arizona, Oklahoma State, USC, and Auburn, were named outright. Then, there were a few schools…
It has been a rough time for the University of Louisville over the past two weeks. Last night’s game, unfortunately, followed the same script. Louisville’s defense continued to struggle, the offense never appeared to establish a rhythm, and the same fundamental miscues, going back to last season, were once again painfully obvious. NC State was…
To no surprise, Louisville was able to defeat in-state FCS foe Murray State today. Louisville overpowered the Racers with a final score of 55-10. Murray State’s lone touchdown came on the Cardinals’ opening drive of the 2nd half due to a fumbled snap that the Racers took to the house for 6 points. Their field…
Anyone with a rationally thinking mind knew the outcome of today’s game before the first kickoff, the only question was how much would Louisville win by. Louisville had just come off a disappointing home loss to Clemson and the unlucky team to get the bulk of the Cardinals’ wrath just happened to be 1-2 Kent…
Expectations were high, feelings were positive, and the environment was electric, then things got rough. There are plenty of reasons as to why they got that way, plenty of correctable mistakes, plenty of missed opportunities that have us here talking about a game that could’ve changed the entire landscape of college football going forward had…
