Louisville Cardinals NCAA Football News

They have shared the same locker room for the last four seasons, an era in Syracuse University football history most Orange fans would like to forget.

USF will go without top receiver Carlton MItchell for today's home game against Louisville, as the junior isn't dressed out in pregame warmups and will miss a second game due to a high ankle sprain he suffered in USF's win against West Virginia three weeks ago.

Impressive one week, shaky the next. South Florida's latest mid-season swoon following a promising start has mirrored the development of young quarterback B.J. Daniels.

In the two weeks he was sidelined with an injured side muscle, University of Louisville quarterback Adam Froman did what he could to stay sharp.

Head down, shoulders forward, the football extended as if to shake someone's hand.

University of Louisville senior linebacker Chris Campa was named the BIG EAST Conference Defensive Player of the Week, the league announced on Monday.

As the Syracuse punt soared into the spectacular November sky, Elaine Guy dropped into her seat in Section 132, Row D in Papa John's Cardinal Stadium.

The dress rehearsal was so perfect, Trent Guy never thought he would get another chance to perform his special magic.

Adam Froman's 15-yard fade pass to 6-foot-9 wide receiver John Chichester with 1:24 to play gave the Louisville Cardinals a 10-9 victory Saturday over the Syracuse University football team, ending the Orange's slim chance at a postseason bowl berth.

Syracuse is still on the road, and Syracuse is still looking for a Big East win.

Jarrett Brown threw a touchdown pass but managed little offense and West Virginia struggled to beat Louisville 17-9 on Saturday.

Louisville's defense can't seem to catch a break against West Virginia. Pat White left a lasting imprint on the Cardinals with four standout games, including last year when he ran for 200 yards and three touchdowns, threw for two more scores and set an NCAA career rushing record by a quarterback in the Mountaineers' 35-21 win.

Forget quantifying all the measurables, dissecting practice, pouring through video and racking your brain.
