Defensive Domination Shuts Down EKU Offense
Louisville cruised to an easy victory over Eastern Kentucky, scoring on their first six possessions and putting the game out of reach early on. The final score was 51-17, with no significant injuries reported.
Key Takeaways:
- Isaac Brown shined with 126 yards on just six carries, including a 68-yard touchdown run and a 31-yard touchdown catch, averaging 21 yards per carry.
- The defense was strong, holding EKU to only two first downs in the first half and limiting them to 23 rushing yards on 20 attempts. The Cardinals recorded four sacks and six tackles for loss.
- A total of 33 players contributed tackles, with Jordan Guerad leading the group.
- Quarterback Miller Moss had a solid debut, completing 17 of 25 passes for 223 yards and a touchdown, despite throwing two interceptions.
- Brady Allen and Deuce Adams also contributed at quarterback late in the game.
- Caullin Lacy returned a punt 93 yards for a touchdown and caught four passes for 62 yards.
Concerns:
- Louisville was penalized 106 yards on about a dozen penalties, mostly by starters, which is troubling even against weaker competition.
The game was largely a formality given the disparity, and the author admits to being a bit bored with the one-sided matchup.
