Xavier Thomas not on the field for warmups. Looks like he'll sit the game out with his concussion. Big loss for the Tigers, especially against this offense that put up 62 at Wake last week!

Sorry, guys, I'm having issues with the press box wi-fi! Captains were Amari Rodgers, Nolan Turner, Denzel Johnson and Diondre Overton.

Crazy first quarter so far! Cards drove right down the field on their opening possession, but K'Von Wallace picked off Micale Cunningham in the end zone. The Tigers drove right down the field after a 48-yard run by Etienne on their first play from scrimmage. However, Trevor was high on a wide-open pass to Chalk that would have been at least a first down and maybe a touchdown. Potter got himself back in Dabo's good graces by hitting a career-long 51-yard field goal!
 
Foster and Rudolph started at DE with Thomas out, and KJ Henry came in quickly.

Good grief what an ugly game! DK muffed a punt at the 5-yard line, and the Tigers were extremely lucky to recover in the end zone for a touchback. Then Trevor throws two bad interceptions in the Louisville end zone! Don't know what he was thinking on that second one. The Tigers also recovered a fumble, forced by Foster and recovered by Pinckney. Louisville is about to punt from their 20 after getting a lucky break on an overturned fumble. Ugly game on both sides! Must be the noon start.

TD NGATA!!! What a throw by Trevor under duress, and great leaping catch by the freshman for his 2nd career TD! Trevor put it high right where it had to be.

TIGERS LEAD 10-0 IN 1ST.

Hall takes the kickoff a yard deep in the end zone and returns it to the 38. I called it!

Conley in at QB. Knew we'd see him at some point. This kid is good.

CUTrevor 2019-10-19 12:04:51


Whew! Tigers got lucky on a drop by Tutu. Would have been a big gain inside the red zone.

Conley runs 11 yards to the Tigers' 22.

Ugh Tigers called for defensive hold. Ball at the 10.

CUTrevor 2019-10-19 12:06:41


Defense gets a TFL and forces a throw away. Huge 3rd and goal from the 11!

Chad Smith gets pressure on the QB and forces a short completion of a yard. 28-yard field goal attempt coming.

Great run by Trevor negated by a hold on Simpson. Tigers forced to punt.

SACK SIMMONS!!! Louisville to punt on 4th and 20 with 1:12 left in the half.

Tigers down to the Louisville 25 after completions to Ross and Rodgers, with a run by Travis between! 22 seconds left in half with one timeout left.

CUTrevor 2019-10-19 12:41:31


TD ROSS!!! What a throw and catch in the back of the end zone with 5 seconds left in the half! It looked like Trevor was trying to throw it away after scrambling around for about 10 seconds, but Ross came down with it! Risky throw with two back picks already for Trevor. 3rd TD for Ross in the last 2 games after just one previously against A&M. 5 plays, 77 yards, one minute off the clock.

TIGERS LEAD 17-3 AT THE HALF.

Ugh complete to Ross on crossing rote but well short of line to gain. Tigers go 3 and out.

Wow Hasaan Hall is out for the rest of the game with a lower body injury. That;s a huge loss! He had 2 kick returns last week for 190 yards and a TD.

Whew! Tutu almost makes another circus catch inside the red zone with Wallace in coverage. Cunningham is back at QB for Cards.

Cards going for it on 4th and one.

Ugh Simpson is hurt and helped off the field. First down Tigers at the Louisville 29.

Terrific play by Trevor to fake a would-be tackler and put the ball on the money to Tee on the sideline, but one of his feet landed out of bounds. 3rd and 9 now.

Trevor scrambles and but isn't able to pick up the 1st. Sawicki out to attempt a 44-yarder.

Reply
CUTrevor 2019-10-19 13:11:29


Ugh Sawicki misses wide left. I guess Potter is the starter again!

CUTrevor 2019-10-19 13:19:29


Good grief freshman Andrew Booth loses his mind on punt coverage. He suplexed the Cardinal to the ground and then punched him while he was on his back. He's thrown out of the game, and that got this place fired up! It will be interesting to see how Dabo handles this after the game.

CUTrevor 2019-10-19 13:21:07


3rd and 11 coming from the Tigers' 6 yard line. They need to convert this because I have a feeling if they don't, Louisville is going to score. Can't let them hang around like at UNC!

Ugh Trevor targets Chalk with tight coverage. Great throw, but Chalk is unable to make the catch. I don't like throwing to him with tight coverage in that situation. Tigers to punt again.

INT TERRELL!!! Vicious hit on the QB by Foster caused the errant throw. Terrell returned it 28 yards to the Louisville 25. They are reviewing for targeting on Foster, but it looked clean to me. The face masks might have hit but that's all.

Great catch again by Higgins, but they say he's out of bounds. They are reviewing the call. Looks like he dragged the toe in the end zone.

Incomplete call stands. 2nd great catch by Higgins that was just a hair out of bounds.

CHEZ MELLUSI TD!!! Right up the middle late in the 4th, just like the Syracuse game! 2nd career TD for the true freshman.

TIGERS LEAD 45-10 IN 4TH.

Reply
CUTrevor 2019-10-19 16:22:03


TIGERS WIN 45-10!!!

22nd straight win! It was ugly in the 1st quarter, but the D was superb like they've been all season, holding the Cards' high-powered offense to just 3 points until late and 263 total yards. They scored 62 points at Wake last week! I'll have Dabo's PC and post-game coach/player interviews posted in a bit!
