The Louisville Cardinals easily dispatched the Missouri State Bears 35-7 in Papa John's Cardinal Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Missouri State Vs. Louisville Final Score: Cardinals Roll To A 35-7 Win
Louisville was in control throughout the affair, due in large part to quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. The sophomore who hails from Miami, FL was tremendous, completing 30-of-39 for 344 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
Charles Gaines made his presence felt with three catches for 73 yards, including a 55-yard reception. Nate Ford was also on top of his game with 58 yards on four grabs and a touchdown.
The Cardinals will stay home to face the North Carolina Tar Heels next week while Missouri State will host Murray State.
Box Score Hero: Teddy Bridgewater
Again, the Louisville signal-caller was superb in leading his team to victory. Bridewater staked his team to an early 18-0 lead and never looked back, giving fans in the Bluegrass State something to be excited about. Anytime you complete 30-of-39 passes and accumulate 344 yards with two touchdown tosses, it’s a good day.
Rankings Ramifications: The No. 23 Cardinals might move up in the rankings next week if some teams ahead of them falter. Otherwise, this ho-hum victory won’t turn many heads.
Did they cover?: The Cardinals didn’t cover, considering the spread was 35 1/2 points.
