The Louisville Cardinals are staying on the road on Friday to face off against the UCF Knights at 7:30 p.m. ET Sept. 9 at FBC Mortgage Stadium. U of L earned a 42-35 in their most recent contest in September of last year.
A win for the Cardinals just wasn't in the stars this past Saturday as the squad never even grasped a temporary lead. Their painful 31-7 loss to the Syracuse Orange might stick with them for a while. A silver lining for U of L was the play of RB Tiyon Evans, who punched in one rushing touchdown.
Meanwhile, when you finish with 506 more yards than your opponent like UCF did last Thursday, a favorable outcome is almost sure to follow. They were completely in charge, breezing past the South Carolina State Bulldogs 56-10 at home. The matchup was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 28-3.
UCF's victory lifted them to 1-0 while Louisville's defeat dropped them down to 0-1. We'll see if UCF's success rolls on or if U of L is able to steal their positive momentum.
