Malik Cunningham threw a go-ahead touchdown pass to little-used tight end Josh Lifson, Kei'Trel Clark returned a sack fumble 59 yards for an insurance TD and Louisville beat Pittsburgh 24-10 on Saturday night for its second consecutive victory. Cunningha m picked up his second TD after a 33-yard catch-and-run on a pass from receiver Braden Smith to the Panthers' 11. Two plays later a wide-open Lifson scooped up a low pass for just his second catch at Louisville and first score to make it 14-10 with 9:45 remaining. James Turner's 48-yard field goal provided a seven-point cushion before Yassir Abdullah sacked Kedon Slovis and forced a fumble that Clark returned for the clinching score.Cunningham also tossed a 12-yard touchdown pass to Marshon Ford early in the second quarter and finished with 122 yards two weeks after missing a game with concussion-like symptoms. The fifth-year senior was shaken up late in the first half after another hard hit and missed the Cardinals' first series of the second h alf but came back to convert two big plays for Louisville (4-3, 2-3 Atlantic Coast Conference). The Panthers (4-3, 1-2) led 10-7 after Ben Sauls' 37-yard field goal late in the third quarter but committed four turnovers. Slovis was responsible for three, tossing two interceptions along with the fumble. Israel Abanikanda rushed 28 times for 129 yards, including a 12-yard TD run, after rushing for a school-record 320 yards against Virginia Tech last time out. - Louisville/AP College Football

Louisville coach Scott Satterfield says quarterback Malik Cunningham's status is being evaluated daily for concussion-like symptoms after he was injured Saturday's loss at Boston College. The fifth-year senior ran for three touchdowns and threw for anoth er before finishing the game, a 34-33 defeat, on the sideline. He was removed for one play in the third quarter after taking a hit to the head from BC defensive back Jaylen Blackwell, who was penalized for targeting. Cunningham played two more series bef ore being replaced by Brock Domann.Satterfield said Tuesday that Cunningham told team doctors that he "felt a little different" after taking another hit later and was pulled from the game. "His status now is day to day and it'll be determined by o ur doctors what they allow him to do," Satterfield said during his weekly news conference, which came ahead of Saturday's ACC game at Virginia. "If he's able to go, then obviously he'll go. But if they say he's not ready, then he won't go." Cunningham wa s injured two days after Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion, laying on the turf with his hands and fingers frozen upward after being slammed backward to the turf in a game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Tagovailoa had experi enced concussion-like symptoms after a hit four days earlier against the Buffalo Bills but was cleared to return, raising questions about the NFL's handling of such injuries. - AP College Football

A good portion of Malik Cunningham's spring was devoted to getting him more comfortable passing in the pocket as opposed to being more prone to run. He showed progress in that during the spring and continued the work over the summer. Part of that was dev eloping even more confidence in his receivers group, which was built both on and off the field. With more at his disposal, the hope is that Cunningham can do less while still being a dynamic, dual-threat quarterback for the Cardinals. Last year, Cunningh am totaled a team-high 1,031 rushing yards - fifth-most in the ACC - becoming the second Cardinals quarterback to reach 1,000 rushing yards after Lamar Jackson accomplished the feat in 2016 and 2017. Cunningham also threw for 2,941 yards, becoming the se cond player in school history to eclipse 2,800 yards with 19 rushing and passing touchdowns in a season for a combined total of 39.His numbers helped Louisville's total offense to rank No. 14 in the country, though it didn't always translate into wins for the squad. The Alabama native will have one last fall camp with the Cardinals to make the necessary adjustments to his game to not just help himself and preserve his longevity, but also to use the depth he has around him. "A lot of receivers tha t we're going to have this year didn't really play last year, didn't have really much production. A couple of them did, so just working on the things that I'm going to be doing in the game, simulate game-like stuff, just getting those throws in and worki ng on all aspects of the game," Cunningham said of his offseason focus. "Moving in the pocket, throwing off platform, going through all my reads, checking down to the running backs, not looking to run - things like that." - Courier Journal

Louisville underwent five coaching changes during the offseason. The team brought back Nic Cardwell to coach the offensive line, in addition to hiring Wesley McGriff to coach the secondary and serve as co-defensive coordinator and Josh Stepp to take over the tight ends room. Greg Gasparato moved from coaching safeties to outside linebackers and Lance Taylor became the new offensive coordinator. It is Taylor's job to ramp up the receivers so quarterback Malik Cunningham can run less and pass more.

Most underrated ACC player: Louisville quarterback Malik Cunningham...Despite consecutive losing seasons, the Cardinals' starting signal caller hasn't gone unnoticed by the rest of the conference, which is loaded with talent at the position. For some, Cu nningham stands out and deserves more attention. "He's not always regarded as a great passer, but he has a really, really strong arm and I think he has great control of that offense," a defensive ACC player said. "He's always a challenge to face, a match up nightmare." - Courier Journal

As nice as it is to have another threat in the backfield, Louisville head coach Scott Satterfield wants to continue w orking on Cunningham's ability to throw in the pocket as opposed to taking off and running, emphasizing that during the spring when Cunningham was barred from escaping the pocket. It's something Cunningham has been improving for a while. In some ways, it also goes against his nature. "I actually played running back growing up, so the running part comes natural," he said. "I had to grow the passing ability, which I have over the past couple years just working with different guys and just believing in mys elf that I can be a quarterback and I just run it."Last season, Cunningham led the ACC and was fourth in the country with 20 rushing touchdowns and became the program's second quarterback and 14th overall player to rush for 1,000 yards in a season with a team-high 1,031 yards. He threw for 2,941 yards with 19 more TDs through the air as well. That made him the second player in school history with at least 2,800 passing yards and 19 rushing and passing touchdowns in a season. Even with the outside time the Cardinals have spent getting to know each other, they've still been practicing at least twice a week. "This summer, I think, that's where they're gonna get their chemistry, throwing and catching all summer long," Satterfield said. "Malik's real ly confident in those guys and I think that's key. As a quarterback, you better have that confidence." - Courier Journal

Malik Cunningham accounted for seven touchdowns in Louisville's 62-42 romp past Duke, helping the Cardinals clinch bowl eligibility Thursday night. Cunningham threw for five touchdowns – each to a different teammate - and ran for two more scores. He ra cked up 303 passing yards and 224 rushing yards. He's the second Football Bowl Subdivision player with at least 300 passing and 200 rushing yards in a game. He sat out the final 12 minutes after 11 carries and 18-for-25 passing. Louisville (6-5, 4-4 Atla ntic Coast Conference) has won consecutive ACC games for the first time since November 2019. Cunningham's second-quarter rushing touchdowns went for 44 and 72 yards. By the time it was 28-6, Cunningham had 163 rushing yards and 156 passing yards. Duke ha d 133 yards total. Duke (3-7, 0-7) has lost seven consecutive games, all except one by at least 25 points. Quarterback Gunnar Holmberg, who missed the previous 1 1/2 games with an upper-body ailment suffered in the first half Nov. 6 against Pittsburgh, t hrew for 176 yards before exiting after one third-quarter series. - Louisville/AP College Football

After a series of late collapses led to frustrating losses, Louisville finally played the complete game it has long sought. No doubt, the presence of a Heisman Trophy winner in the house provided some inspiration. Malik Cunningham threw for four of his f ive first-half touchdowns, and Louisville's defense stifled Syracuse throughout a 41-3 rout on Saturday that snapped a two-game losing streak. On a special day in which Louisville retired the No. 8 jersey of 2016 Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson at ha lftime, the game featured Cunningham showing the same dynamic play of his famous predecessor. The junior quarterback provided all the scoring for the Cardinals (5-5, 3-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) before the ceremony with a 6-yard run on their first poss ession before tossing a series of TD passes.Cunningham's first was a perfect 33-yard toss to Tyler Harrell - one of two Cardinals wearing No. 8 for the time being - before he followed with a 6-yarder to Ahmari Huggins-Bruce, the first of two he ca ught. Jordan Watkins pulled in a 41-yarder in the back of the end zone before Huggins-Bruce took in another from 17 yards just before the break. The Cardinals needed this kind of performance after losing four of five contests they led in the fourth quart er, including 30-24 last week to Clemson. They're now within a win of bowl eligibility, a goal that appeared to be slipping from their grasp with each disappointing defeat. "It's a good feeling in the locker room, knowing that (winning) one more game, on e of the next two we're sure in a bowl game," said Cunningham, who finished 13 of 18 passing for 209 yards before exiting early in the fourth quarter. - Louisville/AP College Football

Malik Cunningham rushed for three touchdowns, including a 14-yard clinching run with 2:53 remaining to cap a milestone performance, and Louisville overcame four turnovers to beat Boston College 28-14 on Saturday and snap a two-game losing streak. Seeking a rebound coming out of a bye following consecutive losses by four total points, the Cardinals (4-3, 2-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) followed a BC touchdown with 21 unanswered points to take control before halftime, or so it seemed. They thwarted chances to pad their lead as Cunningham tossed two interceptions and Hassan Hall fumbled in between their TDs.Even after Josh Minkins picked off BC's Dennis Grosel in the end zone midway through the fourth quarter to stop one serious threat, Louisville f reshman back Trevion Cooley coughed it back up on the next play to set up the Eagles at the Louisville 30. BC took advantage on Jaelen Gill's 6-yard TD reception to get within 21-14 and make it interesting before Cunningham's run sealed a rain-soaked hom ecoming win. "It came right down to the end there and we were able to close it out," Louisville coach Scott Satterfield said. "That was a big time run by Cunningham to get that last touchdown." Of course, the mobile quarterback had a couple before that. Cunningham reached 2,000 career yards rushing and became the fifth Louisville player with at least 30 rushing TDs on a drive capped by his 1-yard run midway through the second quarter. Cunningham rushed 16 times for 133 yards, completed 9 of 17 passes fo r 107 yards and credited teammates for his success. - Louisville/AP College Football

Louisville seemingly could do no wrong in the first half, building a 24-point lead. But even as the game flipped on the Cardinals, they again made a big defensive play in the second half to hold on for a second straight critical win. Malik Cunningham had four first-half touchdowns - two passing and two rushing - and Louisville held off Florida State's second-half rally, 31-23, in the Cardinals' Atlantic Coast Conference opener on Saturday.Cunningham now has eight rushing touchdowns, two in each g ame for Louisville (3-1, 1-0). He completed 25 of 39 passes for 264 yards and ran 14 times for 56 yards. "They definitely made adjustments because if not we would have had 60," Cunningham said. "I think we relaxed a little bit as an offense. We kind of l aid back a little bit and thought the game was over. We got to finish off games. We started off fast. We just have to finish better in order to get to the next step to an elite offense." The Seminoles trailed 31-7 with 1:49 to halftime but gradually chip ped away at Louisville's lead in the second half, trimming the deficit to 31-23 on Ryan Fitzgerald's 45-yard field-goal with 8:40 left. But the Seminoles' rally fell short when McKenzie Milton's downfield pass was picked off by Louisville's Kei'Trel Clar k with 48 seconds left. Despite a shaky second half, Louisville can now claim back-to-back wins over UCF and Florida State. The Cardinals can also credit their defense for again coming through with a late interception - Jaylin Alderman picked off a tippe d pass and returned it 66 yards for a touchdown in a 42-35 win over UCF. - Louisville/AP College Football

Malik Cunningham ran for two touchdowns and threw for another to lead Louisville, which cruised to a 30-3 victory over Eastern Kentucky on Saturday night. In guiding the Cardinals (1-1) to their first victory of the season, the redshirt junior quarterbac k completed 15-of-23 passes for 277 yards. He got some early help from special teams. Marvin Dallas recovered a muffed punt return at the Colonels 25, leading to Cunningham's first score, a 5-yard touchdown run with 4:27 left in the first quarter. Braden Smith made it 13-0 with a 49-yard punt return for a score with 10:15 left in the first half. Cunningham would have had another touchdown, but freshman Ahmari Huggins-Bruce dropped the ball on the EKU 1 on what would have been a 95-yard touchdown p ass with 10:16 left in the fourth quarter. The ball rolled into the endzone, and the Colonels recovered for a touchback. "It's unfortunate," Louisville coach Scott Satterfield said of Huggins-Bruce, who finished with a Louisville true freshman record 150 receiving yards on four catches. "He did the hard part. The heavy lifting was outrunning the whole defense. Then the easy part, anybody in this room could just carry the ball across the line, but… he still had a great night." - Louisville/AP College F ootball

The most important player for the Louisville football team to have success in 2021 starts with "QB1" himself. There is no quarterback battle. His starting job is not in jeopardy. Malik Cunningham will be the starting quarterback when the Cardinals take t he field in Atlanta in the season opener against Ole Miss. Cunningham hasn't always had it easy. He had to be a quarterback under arguably the biggest shadow ever. Heisman Trophy winner and NFL superstar Lamar Jackson. Despite odds being against him at t imes with coaching changes and more, he's been really good for U of L. Passing for 5,153 career yards and 43 touchdowns and rushing for 1,588 yards and 18 touchdowns in his career proves how good he's been. Turnovers were an issue in 2020, but I don't th ink that will be an issue this year. How far will this team go in 2021? A big answer to that question will be on how Cunningham plays. - Courier Journal

Malik Cunningham stood at the podium during last week's ACC Media Days, confident and comfortable. He's used to answering questions from the media as the Cardinals' starting quarterback for the last two years. He has all the answers ready to go for quest ions like: "How do you fix the turnovers?" "What's the potential of this offense?" "How do you replace Javian Hawkins, Tutu Atwell and Dez Fitzpatrick?" Cunningham doesn't flinch in the face of the spotlight. He never has, but the Cunningham on the podiu m in 2021 is different than the one that took over Scott Satterfield's offense in 2019. He's more a polished leader, now, one the team and coaching staff looks at to lead the 2021 program. Most of his personal growth, though, came during the highs and lo ws of the Cardinals' 4-7 2020 season."I was older and was already in the system but more than anything, it made me a better person," Cunningham said. "Going through the stuff we went through, the slump and now that we are here and able to be regul ar, it's even better now." Those losses stuck with him. Four in a row in the first five games. Back-to-back losses to Virginia Tech and Virginia and a stripped fumble on a potential game-winning drive against Boston College in November. It was hard. "Jus t every day knowing I had to go home and look in the mirror and know that I lost and I could've done something better," Cunningham said. "Now it's just build off it, learn from it." - Courier Journal

Between running back Javian Hawkins and wide receivers Dez Fitzpatrick and Tutu Atwell, it is replacing 2,280 yards and 17 touchdowns from a season ago. In the last two years, the three combined for 5,716 yards and 44 touchdowns However, two players retu rn with multiple years of starting experience and more than two touchdowns in Scott Satterfield's offense: tight end Marshon Ford and quarterback Malik Cunningham.At times last year, Cunningham looked like a one-man offense with 2,617 passing yard s, 609 rushing yards, 20 passing touchdowns and seven rushing touchdowns. As Louisville begins to transition its offense to a host of new playmakers, Cunningham has taken an even bigger leadership role on the offense. One that he thinks he's embraced thi s offseason and helped hold himself accountable. "Those guys feed off my energy so if they see me up and ready to go, they're going to work harder and put their best foot forward," he said. "If I'm down, they'll come over and check on me - which I'm neve r down - but if I am having a long day they'll check on me." - Courier Journal

Malik Cunningham threw for 195 yards and accounted for three scores for Louisville, which blitzed past Wake Forest 45-21 Saturday. The Cardinals (4-7, 3-7 Atlantic Coast Conference) overcame a sluggish start to rally for a victory in their regular-season finale. After gaining just 7 yards in the first quarter, they finished with 453. Louisville gained 254 of those on the ground. Cunningham completed 73% (16-for-22) of his passes. He threw for two touchdowns and ran for another. He went without an interc eption for the first time in five games. The Demon Deacons (4-4, 3-4) amassed 351, but they couldn't stay on the field as they converted just seven of 18 on third down. Louisville, meanwhile, converted seven of 14 third downs and held the ball for 36:56. Both teams were missing key receivers. Louisville's Tutu Atwell announced during the week he would miss the contest, while Donavon Green did not dress for the Demon Deacons. In addition, the Cardinals were without three starting offensive linemen. That led to the Cardinals starting their fourth-string center and three freshmen on the line. - Louisville/AP College Football

Malik Cunningham accounted for two touchdowns to offset three first-half turnovers, and Louisville held Syracuse to a season-low 137 yards with three takeaways for a 30-0 victory on Friday night. All of the turnovers occurred before the break, though Cun ningham's two interceptions around a fumble in Syracuse territory weren't as costly. That's because the Cardinals' replenished defense created just as many opportunities, two of which the offense converted into 10 points for a 13-0 lead in the second qua rter. Cunningham added a 4-yard TD run with 29 seconds remaining in the half before connecting with Tutu Atwell for a 19-yard score midway through the third. The junior quarterback finished 19-of-28 passing for 219 yards as the Cardinals (3-6, 2-6 Atlant ic Coast Conference) ended a two-game losing streak. Jalen Mitchell rushed 11 times for 46 yards with a 2-yard TD while Maurice Burkley had 56 yards on 10 carries. Syracuse (1-8, 1-7) never got going in losing its sixth consecutive game. Freshman JaCobia n Morgan completed 5-of-12 passes for 40 yards in his second start and the ground game managed just 92 yards. - AP College Football

Louisville's offense was one of the best in the ACC last year. It averaged 33.1 points per game and was led by a wealth of talent. With the return of quarterback Malik Cunningham, running backs Hassan Hall and Javian Hawkins and a plethora of receivers l ed by Tutu Atwell and Dez Fitzpatrick, Louisville was thought to be one of the best offenses in the conference again. Many picked the Cardinals as a sleeper to make the ACC Championship game. But one month into the football season, Louisville (1-3, 0-3 A CC) has been inconsistent on both sides of the ball and is one of three ACC teams without a conference win. While it was understood it would take time for the defense to improve, the offense was supposed to be the strength again - carrying it to wins whe n the defense struggled. But that hasn't been the case, and now Louisville is on a three-game losing streak.What's changed? The answer is fairly simple. The offense hasn't been the same efficient group it was last year. It's not because of a lack of talent or some large, schematic change, either. Louisville's main culprit is a turnover uptick and the inability to hit on the big plays it was known for last year. Satterfield didn't put the blame on one person, although he said Cunningham has missed a few throws he made last season. "Now, Malik's overthrown a few of them, but it seems like there's been something different, whether it be Malik not throwing the proper ball or the receiver not running the proper route or the offensive line or tight en ds not protecting," Satterfield said. "So, in the course of the season, it's been a little bit of everybody, I think, that have attributed to some of those shots not being there." Louisville averaged 10.1 yards per passing attempt last year. This season, it is at 7.95. A dip, but something that is fixable. - Courier Journal

Malik Cunningham is healthy once again. After taking a hard hit in the final offensive play of Louisville's 23-20 loss to Pittsburgh, Cunningham is back to being a full participant in practice. He was wheeled off the field on a stretcher and was limited during the bye week, coach Scott Satterfield said. But he was a full participant last weekend. His return is good news for the Cardinals. "He's doing good and ready to go. Shouldn't be any limitations as he heads into this game," Satterfield said. Cunningham is considered one of the best quarterbacks in the ACC and has been off to a strong start statistically. He's sixth in the ACC with 757 yards and second with seven touchdowns. But there's still a place where Cunningham can improve - decision ma king. He was one of the most efficient quarterbacks in the country last season with a 194.74 passer rating, which would've been good for third nationally if he had attempted one more pass. His passer rating is 143.6 (sixth in the ACC), but with even high er usage rate, his interceptions are also up. Last year, Cunningham threw five interceptions on 178 attempts. He has five interceptions through three games this season on 91 attempts. He's on pace for 331 passing attempts this season. - Courier Journal

After leaving Saturday's game against Pittsburgh on a medical cart, Louisville quarterback Malik Cunningham is "good to go," coach Scott Satterfield said. Cunningham went down hard on the last offensive play in Saturday's game. Rolling to his right, Cun ningham was tackled as he was throwing the ball on fourth down, hoping to keep Louisville's comeback chances alive. His throw was intercepted. Though he was carted off on a stretcher, Satterfield said he had movement of all of his extremities while on th e ground and he gave a thumbs up as he was carted off. He traveled back with the team on Saturday after evaluated and did practice on Tuesday, Satterfield said. Cunningham is currently the ACC leader in passing yards with 757. He also leads the league wi th seven touchdowns, but has thrown five interceptions, which is equal to his amount all of last season. - Courier Journal

There was a scary sight at the end of Louisville's game against Pittsburgh on Saturday. Quarterback Malik Cunningham, scrambling to his right to avoid a sack and make a play on fourth down, was hit while throwing the ball. He hit the ground hard and stay ed down. Cunningham, who entered the week leading the ACC in passing yards and touchdowns, was taken off the field on a stretcher that was put on a cart. While he was being carted off, he gave a thumbs-up to his team. "That's the soldier mentality in him . He gave it his all and he got twisted up. He put his thumb up to let us know he was good so we are going to get back and get better," running back Javian Hawkins said.After the game, head coach Scott Satterfield said he didn't know the exact nat ure of Cunningham's injury but that he was moving all of his extremities while on the ground. "He stepped up on that play. They had some pass rushers there, and it looked like he got his feet caught up under a couple of their defenders. He got twisted a little bit," Satterfield said. "The medical team takes every precaution. That's why they took him in to further evaluate him. I have not gotten an update on that, so anything else would be speculation. He did have feeling in his body and his extremities, so that's positive." - Courier Journal

In the middle of its game against Western Kentucky, the Louisville football team got some good news. It will be the next stop for ESPN's "College GameDay" show next week when it hosts Miami on Sept. 19. The game is set to kickoff at 7:30 p.m. and will ai r on ABC. The time of the game was changed earlier Saturday afternoon after the Virginia-Virginia Tech game was postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak at Virginia Tech. This will be the third time Louisville has hosted "College GameDay," it hosted in 2016 and 2017. The postponement of Virginia-Virginia Tech opened the door for the popular pregame show to come to Louisville, as many assumed it would choose the rivalry game over Louisville-Miami. With that matchup postponed, it opened the door for Louisvill e with the next-best game. The SEC has not started its season yet, and the only Big 12 team that is playing next week is Oklahoma State, which hosts Tulsa and the only other ACC conference games next week are Syracuse-Pittsburgh and Wake Forest-NC State. Wake Forest hosted "College GameDay" this week. Louisville lost to Miami 52-27 last year, but has won three of the last four matchups despite trailing 3-10 in the series. - Courier Journal

Micale Cunningham threw for 279 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 81 more, and Louisville capped coach Scott Satterfield's debut season by beating Mississippi State 38-28 Monday in the Music City Bowl. The Cardinals (8-5) rallied from a 14-point defic it by scoring 31 straight to finish their big turnaround from 2-10 last season. Louisville also finally beat Mississippi State on the field for the first time in six tries, though the series now is tied 3-3 thanks to a pair of forfeits by the Bulldogs in the 1970s. "We got down 14 points early in the game, and the kids didn't flinch," Satterfield said. "I mean they kept playing, they kept battling. The next thing you know you're right back in the game. We grabbed the momentum and poured it on."Mi ssissippi State (6-7) had been trying to finish the season with a three-game winning streak for the first time since 2013 and only the third time since the end of World War II. Instead, the Bulldogs go home having lost a bowl game in each of coach Joe Mo orhead's two seasons. "This season was a book in and of itself," Moorhead said. "Certainly 6-7 was not the outcome we desired. To get bowl eligible, win an Egg Bowl and have this opportunity to play in a bowl game to me is a credit to these seniors, a cr edit to these staff and credit to these leaders that we were able to battle through a lot of adversity this season." The Cardinals had four sacks and recovered two fumbles, one returned 31 yards for a TD by safety Khane Pass. Javian Hawkins led Louisvill e with 105 yards rushing, and he ran for a TD late. The Cardinals outgained Mississippi State 510-366. - AP College Football

Micale Cunningham passed for a career-best five of six touchdowns accounted for, including a 14-yarder with 1:24 remaining to seal Louisville's 56-34 victory over Syracuse on Saturday. Cunningham passed for three TDs and rushed for a 20-yard score in the first half alone on a cold, misty afternoon. The sophomore added a 28-yard scoring pass early in the third, one of several the Cardinals needed during a wild second half in which the schools alternated touchdowns three times. The sophomore's final TD pa ss might have been his most critical for Louisville (7-4, 5-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) as Syracuse tried to rally. The Orange turned it over twice on downs deep in Louisville territory, with the last ending on three consecutive penalties and a failed a fourth-down pass at the 3.Javian Hawkins' 47-yard run set up Cunningham's 14-yard TD pass to Tutu Atwell as the bowl-bound Cardinals capped conference play with another victory in their turnaround season. They also ended the postseason prospects for Syracuse (4-7, 1-6) a season after the Orange won 10 games including a bowl. "We were able to get that ball back and then the offense, we take off five, almost six minutes and score a touchdown," Cardinals coach Scott Satterfield said. "That's how yo u win ball games, and it was a great team effort." Cunningham completed 11 of 20 passes for 238 yards and rushed eight times for 60. Hawkins established a school rushing record for a freshman by totaling 233 yards on 23 carries. - Louisville/AP College F ootball

Micale Cunningham threw four TD passes as Louisville clinched bowl eligibility Saturday night with a 34-20 win over N.C. State. The big-play passing game of Louisville (6-4, 4-3 ACC) proved too much to handle for an N.C. State team missing its top five c ornerbacks because of injury. Cunningham completed scoring passes of 43 yards to Dez Fitzpatrick, 74 yards to Tutu Atwell and 42 yards to Marshon Ford.N.C. State (4-6, 1-5), which has five starters overall out for the season due to injury, led 10- 7 at halftime after a 15-yard, second-quarter scoring pass from Devin Leary to Emeka Emezie, but gave up two touchdowns in the first 2:30 of the third quarter to fall behind by a double-digit margin. Louisville has a reputation for big gains in the passi ng game as Cunningham and speedy wideouts Atwell and Fitzpatrick have stretched defenses vertically all season. The Cardinals' 17.0 yards per completion entering Saturday's game ranked fifth in the nation, and Louisville had 13 completions of at least 40 yards in its first nine games. - Louisville/AP College Football

With Heisman Trophy-winning predecessor Lamar Jackson observing, Louisville quarterback Micale Cunningham showed his own ability for creating excitement with his arm and feet. Cardinals running back Javian Hawkins and an opportunistic defense also made t heir marks in a hard-earned victory over Virginia. Cunningham and Hawkins accounted for two touchdowns apiece, including one each in the fourth quarter, and Louisville made a final defensive stand to hold off the Cavaliers 28-21 on Saturday.Gettin g there required rallying twice, including a 14-7 halftime deficit in which the Cardinals (5-3, 3-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) started Cunningham for one quarter before switching to freshman Evan Conley in the second for a different pace. Cunningham was back in the pocket after halftime and delivered a Jackson-like clutch performance. The sophomore completed 6 of 10 passes for 126 yards, most coming on a shovel pass to Tutu Atwell for a 77-yard touchdown that marked career bests for both players and a s eason high for Louisville. Cunningham carried 11 times for 97 yards including a 48-yarder overshadowed by an even bigger play that put Louisville ahead for good. - Louisville/AP College Football
