LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The University of Louisville football team defeated Boston College 56-28, on Saturday to move to 4-0 overall and 2-0 in ACC play for the first time since 2016.Â
Once again, the first half was all Louisville with a 33-yard touchdown run by Jawhar Jordan to get the scoring started. Jordan recorded 134 yards on the day with two rushing and a receiving touchdown.
Ahmari Huggins-Bruce recorded 110 yards with two touchdowns for the Cards. Wide receiver Jamari Thrash led the Cardinals with five receptions for 71 yards and a score.Â
Quarterback Jack Plummer threw for 388 yards with five passing and one rushing touchdown.Â
Linebacker Jaylin Alderman paced the Louisville defense with eight tackles on the afternoon.Â
Louisville Head Coach Jeff Brohm Said:
"We knew Boston College was going to give us a challenge. They wake up our players when they almost beat Florida State at home last week. Because of that, we practiced well with the sense of urgency needed to come out and win. To be quite honest, it starts at Card March. We had a great showing. Our kids love that. It makes them more ready to play. We came out firing on a lot of cylinders, scoring points and being productive. The defense started pretty hot early on, but of course a few things cooled down after that. I am really proud of the start we had. A lot of guys made some good plays. A few other guys stepped up and made more plays than they have in the past. So, we are going to have to continue to do that. Certain guys are going to have to continue to merge, continue to work hard. You never know when your time is going to come about. On defense, while there's some good things, there are plenty of things to shore up. So, it gave us an opportunity, as coaches, to see what we can do to help them perform more efficiently all the time and then as players, maybe have to play harder. Maybe, we have to do this or that. There are just things we have to shore up to move forward to some really tough football games coming up."
