LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Sophomore quarterback Brian Brohm threw for 390 yards and six touchdowns to lead the Red Team to a 49-14 win over the White Team in the 2005 Louisville Football Spring Game presented by UPS and Chase Bank on Friday night at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium. The game, which was delayed 30 minutes due to a severe thunderstorm, was televised nationally by ESPNU.
Brohm, a Louisville native entering his first season as the Cards' starting signal caller, was 23-of-29 through the air as U of L's first string offense put up 551 yards of total offense in an abbreviated game. Three of Brohm's scoring tosses were to senior wide receiver Joshua Tinch who led the Cards' receiving corps with seven catches and 133 yards. Senior Broderick Clark added another touchdown along with 103 yards on four catches as seven Cardinal players had at least one catch for the Red Team.
Junior tailback Michael Bush opened the scoring for the Red Team with a five-yard scoring run with 10:25 left in the first quarter, the first of five straight touchdowns for the Red Team to open the game. Bush, a product of Male High School in Louisville, led the Cardinal rushing attack with 92 yards on 19 carries.
The Red Team took the first drive of the game and went 70 yards on 12 plays. Brohm went 3-of-5 on the first drive and went 23-of-29 for the game. Brandon Johnson led the Red with six tackles, while Elvis Dumervil had five tackles, including four for a loss.
Harry Douglas had six catches for 71 yards to pace the White squad.
The Cards will open the 2005 season, U of L's first in the BIG EAST Conference, on Sunday, Sept. 4 on ESPN against Kentucky at Commonwealth Stadium in Lexington.
