The Louisville Cardinals Football team put on an impressive showing against the Governors from Austin Peay.
This team has high expectations after making the ACC championship appearance last season.
The Cardinals scored 62 points, the most in a home opener since 2016.
Tyler Shough made his first start under center for the Cardinals and did not disappoint.
For only playing in the first half for the Cardinals, going 18-24 and throwing 232 yards was exactly the showing Cards fans wanted to see from their starting quarterback.
In the post-game press conference, Shough said how he has been adding elements such as sidearm throws to his game.
“Yeah, I feel comfortable doing it. I feel like it’s been a strength I’ve been able to add to my game.
There are times when there are screens and protections where you have to escape, and it is necessary, but my goal is always to stay on the platform and have a good base.
However, sometimes I feel I can pull that out and feel comfortable doing it.”
Running Back Isaac Brown also contributed on the day with a 77-yard touchdown.
He also leads the day in rushing with 123 yards on the ground.
The defense also did a solid job shutting out the Governors as Ramon Puryear recovered a fumble and ran it back 22 yards to the house for a defensive touchdown.
