The Cardinals took care of business against an overmatched Austin Peay squad this past weekend.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The first week of the college football season is in the books, and it couldn't have gone much better for the Louisville football program. While their week one competition was a team from the FCS ranks in Austin Peay, the Cardinals made sure that there was zero possibility of a significant opening upset, eventually coming away with a 62-0 victory over the Governors.
"We did what we were supposed to do," he said Monday. "I think we prepared hard, and we practiced well. These guys wanted to go out there and try to put on their best performance. It's always important that you do what you're supposed to do, and play well. Do the small things correctly, and challenge yourself to play your best. For the most part, I thought we did that for four quarters. Now we got to find a way to do it again.
In fact, the game - both in real time and on film afterwards - proved one major thing to the coaching staff: they really are as deep as they suspected. While both sides of the line of scrimmage played at a high level up until the very end, the defense arguably did a better job than their offensive counterpart. Louisville gave up only 82 yards and six first downs in the first half, but when the benches emptied on both sides after halftime, the Cardinals' defense got even better and only gave up 24 yards and three first downs in the second half.
