What a game and what a win. The Louisville Cardinals went on the road to Miami, Florida, and left with one of the biggest wins in program history. The Cardinals defeated the No. 2-ranked Hurricanes 24-21 in a back-and-forth thriller on Friday night. An incredible performance all around and a true team win.
The win comes after a needed bye week, during which Jeff Brohm put together a masterful game plan that the Louisville Cardinals executed exceptionally well. The offense looked to hit its stride, with the run game making a much-needed appearance. The defense forced Miami and quarterback Carson Beck into having their worst performance of the year, with Beck throwing four interceptions on the night.
Before we start looking forward to what the rest of the season holds for Louisville, let’s take a second to reflect on the game and process what all Cardinals fans just witnessed. Here are five immediate observations from the impressive upset win over the Hurricanes.
