...N!

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 17:18:29

Good news, the only player out tonight is safety Tyler Venables. So Mafah, Putnam and Trotter will all play! It's too bad about Venables because he's been playing well lately and had an INT at Pitt, but getting those 3 back is big.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 18:45:06

Tigers win the toss and defer.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 18:45:43

Cunningham completes a 7 yard pass on the first play.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 18:46:37

Cunningham runs for a first down.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 18:49:11

Good grief Cards complete another pass, get a face mask on Nolan Turner and run 26 yards for a TD. They went right down the field on about 5 plays! That might be the first time they’ve given up a TD on the opening drive this season.

TIGERS TRAIL 7-0 IN 1ST.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 18:54:21

Pace runs for 13 yards to the 37!

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 18:55:26

Pass complete to Ngata for 17 more!

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 18:57:32

TD BEAUX COLLINS!!! DJ hooks up with his old high school teammate for 46 yards! What an answer by the offense! Took just 3 plays.

TIED 7-7 IN 1ST.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 19:00:07

D forces a 3 and out! Tigers take over at their 26.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 19:00:50

DJ runs 10 yards for a first down!

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 19:02:22

Tigers forced to punt and Spiers booms a 54 yarder downed at the Louisville 9!

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 19:14:28

Tigers force another punt and take over at their 29.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 19:15:08

DJ runs for 10 yards but then is sacked for a 7 yard loss. They can’t convert on 3rd and 11 and have to punt again.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 19:15:49

Another good punt by Spiers for 44 yards to the 18.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 19:16:43

D forces a 3 and out!

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 19:18:52

Good grief Will Brown fumbles the punt at the 28, and Louisville recovers. Cunningham runs 23 yards for a TD. That was as good as a pick-six! 6 turnovers in last 3 games now. Those are killers, especially on the road. Gives the crowd life and momentum.

TIGERS TRAIL 14-7 IN 1ST.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 19:20:27

DJ sacked again to end the quarter. It will be 3rd and 18 to start the 2nd.

TIGERS TRAIL 14-7 AFTER ONE.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 19:21:59

DJ runs for 4 yards and the Tiger have to punt again. Louisville has good field position at their 41.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 19:32:42

Tigers get a stop on 3rd and 3 but Louisville kicks a 44-yard FG.

TIGERS TRAIL 17-7 IN 2ND.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 19:51:13

DJ comes out of the game with an apparent knee injury, but Taisun comes into the game and leads the offense to a 38-yard field goal! They got a big defensive holding call on 3rd and 13 to keep the drive going.

TIGERS TRAIL 17-10 IN 2ND.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 19:51:55

Cards drive to midfield, but D gets a stop with about 1:30 left. DJ back into the game with a knee brace.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 19:53:42

Ugh Pace gets drilled and stays on the field. He walks to the locker room under his own power but he’s probably done for tonight with a concussion.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 19:59:38

Tigers drive all the way to the Louisville 16! Huge 3rd and 3 coming with 22 secs left in the half. Tigers have one timeout left, so they can run here.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 20:02:46

Wow huge targeting call gives the Tigers 1st down at the 8!

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 20:03:23

TD DAVIS ALLEN!!! 18 secs left in the half. He was wide open in the back of the end zone after the DB fell down. Allen got held too. Nice route!

TIED 17-17 WITH 18 SECONDS LEFT IN HALF.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 20:04:53

That’s the end of the half! Tigers will get the ball first to start the 2nd. Dabo said he thinks DJ has a sprained knee.

TIED 17-17 AT HALF.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 20:27:32

Ugh DJ sacked on 3rd and 5 for an 11-yard loss. Tigers go 3 and out to start the half.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 20:31:07

Good grief, Cunningham runs 51 yards for a TD on 3rd and 2. Like I said, he is dangerous!

TIGERS TRAIL 24-17 IN 3RD.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 20:40:07

SHIPLEY 75-YARD KICKOFF RETURN! All the way to the Cards' 18! What a way to answer!

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 20:41:02

Mafah runs for 11 yards! First and goal at the Louisville 7!

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 20:41:44

Good grief, Tigers go for it on 1st and goal from the one, and Mafah is stuffed for no gain. Cards take over on downs at their one yard line. Bad snap by Rayburn on 2nd and goal forced DJ to throw it away.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 20:42:21

Big 3rd and 6 coming from the Louisville 5.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 20:42:41

Ugh 14-yard completion gives Cards a first down and some breathing room.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 20:46:16

Completion for 57 yards comes back to the Cards' 40 thanks to a block in the back. 1st down though.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 20:46:59

Cunningham runs for another 1st down. Ball at the Tigers' 43.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 20:53:28

Wow, it looks like Cunningham might be hurt. They brought in the backup QB for the last couple plays, and the Tigers forced a 52-yard field goal that they missed! That will obviously be huge if Cunningham can't come back.

Tigers take over at their 34.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 20:54:25

Yep, Cunningham is in the medical tent. Looks like an ankle.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 20:56:05

Pass complete to EJ Williams for 7 yards.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 20:56:33

Shipley tackled for a one yard loss. Big 3rd and 4 coming.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 20:57:04

17-YARD COMPLETION TO NGATA!!! 1st down at Cards' 45.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 21:00:28

Ugh Tigers unable to convert on 3rd and 9. Cards take over at their 10 after a 37-yard punt by Spiers. That ends the 3rd.

TIGERS TRAIL 24-17 HEADED TO THE 4TH.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 21:05:16

D FORCES A 3 AND OUT!

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 21:09:04

Shipley runs for 22 yards to start the drive!

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 21:09:22

Shipley runs for 9 more! Big 3rd and one coming.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 21:09:56

Complete to Ross for 6 yards and a first down at the Louisville 46!

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 21:18:30

Ugh looked like Collins had a TD on 3rd and 9 from the 17, but he was bobbling the ball as he went out. Tigers have to settle for a 34-yard FG from Potter.

TIGERS TRAIL 24-20 IN 4TH.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 21:18:52

Cunningham back in the game. Huge 3rd and 3 coming!

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 21:30:20

DJ comes in for a play and Tigers get a big PI call! Then they convert on a big 3rd down and take it all the way to the Cards’ 15! It’s 2nd and 4 coming up with 6:17 left.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 21:34:47

DJ runs for a 1st down on 3rd and 2! It’s 2nd and goal now from the 8!

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 21:36:41

DJ TD RUN!!!

TIGERS LEAD 27-24 WITH 4:12 LEFT!

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 21:42:57

D GETS A TURNOVER ON DOWNS!!! Tigers take over at the Cards’ 25 with under 3 mins left!

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 21:43:16

3rd and 8 now from the 23 with 2:28 left.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 21:49:01

Tigers have to settle for a FG

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 21:51:00

IT’S GOOD!!!

TIGERS LEAD 30-24

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 21:52:04

Good grief, Cards go all the way down the field and complete a pass at the 2 yard line on 4th and one! Tigers are gonna get the ball back down one with a minute left.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 21:53:39

Tigers get a stop for no gain. This would be the gol line stand of all goal line stands if they can pull it off!

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 21:54:16

TFL!!! Ball at the 5 now with 39 secs left! Tigers call tomeout.

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 22:24:21

GOAL LINE STAND!!! TIGERS ARE GONNA WIN!!!

CUTrevor 2021-11-06 22:25:43

Tigers take over on downs with 10 seconds left and run out the clock!

TIGERS WIN 30-24!!!

Thank goodness they host UConn next week. Lol we'll finally get a break from these last-second nail-biters! Tigers are now 7-0 all-time against Louisville and 31-7 in one-score games since 2011.

I'll have post-game interviews in a bit!
