Louisville Defeats Pitt 37-9 in Cards Final Home Game of the Season
November 23, 2024 | Football
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The University of Louisville football team put up an impressive performance in its final home game of the season to defeat the University of Pittsburgh 37-9 on Saturday night at L&N Stadium.
The Cardinals played a near perfect first half, scoring 27 points and shutting out the Panther offense. Freshman running back Isaac Brown added in two touchdowns and sophomore linebacker Stanquan Clark brought in two interceptions in the first 30 minutes of action.
Louisville finished the game strong, scoring 10 points in the second half and holding the Panther offense to nine total points in the contest.
Quarterback Tyler Shough finished the day with 293 yards through the air and two touchdowns. Brown continued his impressive freshman season, rushing for 93 yards and finding the end zone twice. Wide receiver Chris Bell brought in 101 of Shough's passing yards, making it his second consecutive game with 100 receiving yards.
Defensively, senior defensive end Ashton Gillotte shined on his senior day, finishing with two sacks and three tackles-for-loss, adding to his distinguished career as a Cardinal.
As a team, Louisville put up 505 yards of total offense, while holding its conference opponent to just 265. Louisville also won the turnover battle 3-0 and were able to gain nine more first downs than Pitt.
Louisville Head Coach Jeff Brohm said:
"We're really proud of our team. I think anytime you have a loss that disappoints us all, you've got to be man enough to look in the mirror and identify the problems and go about the week and try to fix them. I think we did a really good job of that and we worked on a lot of things that I thought were costly the last game and we came out and played a much cleaner game. It wasn't the best start at the very beginning, but we got a big interception that helped us and we played hard for four quarters. So I'm really proud of our players and our coaches. This is a good football team we played. We found a way to win in this fashion in the last home game. It was a great way to go out, a great way to go out in conference play, so I'm really proud of our team."
