LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The University of Louisville football team continued to dominate on offense, defeating Jacksonville State 49-14 in week two of the 2024 season.

The Cardinals put up 610 total yards, surpassing last week's total of 571 against Austin Peay.

Quarterback Tyler Shough continued to shine for the Cardinals going 21-for-33 for 349 yards and two touchdowns.

Two different receivers found the end zone for Louisville – Chris Bell ran 61 yards for one touchdown and Mark Redman ran 12 yards for his second touchdown.

The Cardinals also found success with the ground game, rushing for 233 yards on the day. Maurice Turner led the way with 60 yards and a score.

Defensively, Louisville held the Gamecocks to 14 points. Quincy Riley secured the lone interception for the Cardinals. Jared Dawson led the defense with one sack and two tackles for loss.

Louisville Head Coach Jeff Brohm Said:
"Proud of our football team today. I thought they played hard for four quarters. We knew we would be tested better in this game. This team does a lot of different things and has some nuances on offense that you have to prepare for and you have to be good at it. They caught us on our heels a few times in the first half and got some points. (Our) offense was fairly efficient which was good because we got a lead and of course in the second half we made adjustments. We came out and played efficient football, we didn't give up any points on defense. We played much better of course when we are efficient on offense and increasing the lead, it makes them do some things that they don't want to do. So all those things tied into it but I do think we finished the game and played hard and came out with a good victory."
