Louisville, KY (Sports Network) - A timeout call to ice Cardinals kicker John
Wallace backfired, and 16th-ranked Louisville beat Cincinnati, 34-31 in
overtime, Friday night. The rainy conditions played a big factor in the
outcome. Cincinnati got the ball to start overtime, but on 3rd-and-9, Terell
Floyd stepped in front of tight end Travis Kelce to make an interception of a
Munchie Legaux pass in the left side of the end zone. The Cardinals ran the
ball five straight times until Wallace came onto the field for his 30-yard
field goal attempt. The snap from center went high over the holder's head, but
Cincinnati coach Butch Jones had signaled for a timeout. Wallace then knocked
in the winning kick to give Louisville (8-0, 3-0 Big East) the win in the 52nd
Battle For The Keg Of Nails. Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater completed 24-of-41
passes for 416 yards and a pair of fourth-quarter TDs, both to DeVante Parker.
Legaux ended 13-of-28 for 157 yards with a TD and three interceptions. George
Winn rushed 26 times for 125 yards for the Bearcats (5-2, 1-1), who had tied
the game with 63 seconds remaining in the last quarter thanks to Legaux's 26-
yard scoring strike to Damon Julian.
