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 cornerbacks 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 passing 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

11/16/19 - Shai Werts, rSr/2022, Louisville, 5-11, 205 (DS#999 WR) + More +

Shai Werts threw for one touchdown, ran for two and the defense came up with three turnovers as Georgia Southern rolled to a 51-29 win over Louisiana Monroe on Saturday. Werts had touchdown runs of 11 and 24 yards and a 33-yard connection with Darion Anderson to put the Eagles on top 24-7 at halftime. Donald Rutledge Jr. had a 42-yard interception return in the opening minute of the fourth quarter, which made it 38-14. The Warhawks scored twice in the fourth quarter but each time Georgia Southern responded, including a 42-yard return by Monquavion Brinson on an onside kick attempt in the final minute. The Eagles (6-4, 4-2 Sun Belt Conference) were outgained 370-325 in total offense. J.D. King had 102 yards rushing and a 6-yard touchdown run in the closing minute of the third quarter. Caleb Evans went 21-of-36 passing for 285 yards and two touchdowns for the Warhawks but was intercepted twice. - Georgia Southern/AP College Football

11/08/19 - Tyler Hudson, Sr/2023, Louisville, 6-1, 196 (DS#81 WR) + More +

2019 JERRY RICE AWARD WATCH LIST: Tyler Hudson, WR, Central Arkansas: 38 receptions, 687 yards, 8 TDs (9 games),...Hudson, a freshman from Spring, Texas, and Klein Oak High school, was one of 24 FCS players across the nation named to the list. The Rice Award is named for the legendary Hall of Fame wide receiver and has been presented since 2011 to the Division I FCS freshman player of the year. Hudson has started all nine games for the 6th-ranked Bears and has hauled in 38 receptions for 687 yards and eight touchdowns in his rookie season. Hudson is coming off a three-touchdown game in UCA's 45-17 road victory over the Lamar Cardinals last Saturday.

Hudson had career highs of 10 receptions for 140 yards the previous week in UCA's 29-25 win over Top 25 Sam Houston State at First Security Field at Estes Stadium. He has had more than 100 receiving yards in four games this season, and scored multiple touchdowns twice. Hudson is tied for third in the Southland Conference with his eight touchdown receptions and is seventh in receiving yards per game at 76.3. - STATS FCS/Central Arkansas Football

11/05/19 - Jack Plummer, rSr/2024, Louisville, 6-4, 215 (DS#18 QB) + More +

Purdue quarterback Jack Plummer is expected to miss the rest of this season with a broken right ankle. The opening-day starter, Elijah Sindelar, is unlikely to return because of a broken left collarbone. The Boilermakers are asking former walk-on, Aidan O'Connell, to keep their long-shot bowl hopes alive. Coach Jeff Brohm fully believes O'Connell can do the job. "He's a guy I think can execute the offense. I think he'll stand there and try to make the throw and sit in that pocket and do the best he can," Brohm said Monday. "We've got to play to his strengths and help him get into rhythm and get completions. I think extending the play and getting yards with his feet is not his strength." Clearly, the Boilermakers (3-6, 2-4 Big Ten) face an uphill battle. They must win their final three games to become bowl-eligible, a stretch run that begins Saturday with what appears to be a winnable game at reeling Northwestern (1-7, 0-6). Then, after a second bye week, the Boilermakers visit No. 16 Wisconsin before closing out the season at home against surging rival Indiana. - AP College Football

10/30/19 - Joey Gatewood, rSr/2024, Louisville, 6-4, 241 (DS#45 TE) + More +

Auburn backup quarterback Joey Gatewood has left the team and plans to transfer. Tigers coach Gus Malzahn said Wednesday Gatewood opted to enter the NCAA's transfer portal to give himself more time to find a school to compete for a starting job. Malzahn says Gatewood informed him of his decision before Tuesday's practice. No. 11 Auburn hosts Mississippi Saturday night. The 6-foot-5, 233-pound redshirt freshman lost a battle for the starting job to freshman Bo Nix. Gatewood is a former four-star recruit from Jacksonville, Florida. He has played in seven games and been used at times as a Wildcat quarterback, running for 148 yards and three touchdowns while throwing for a fourth score. Former minor league baseball player Cord Sandberg will move up to second-team. Sandberg has only attempted one pass in his two seasons. Walk-on Will Appleton will be the third-teamer. - AP College Football

10/29/19 - Blanton Creque, rSr/2020, Louisville, 5-10, 192 (DS#11 K) + More +

Louisville says kicker Blanton Creque will miss the remainder of the season with a torn left anterior cruciate ligament. Creque's injury, sustained while attempting a tackle late in the fourth quarter of Saturday's 28-21 victory against Virginia, also ends the collegiate career of the Cardinals' most accurate kicker (82.3%). The senior will undergo surgery in the next couple of weeks. Creque made 8 of 11 field goals and all 33 extra-point attempts for 57 points this season. His 51 field goals on 62 attempts and 310 career points both rank third in program history. Creque's 41-yard field goal that helped Louisville edge Boston College 41-39 on Oct. 5 was one of two game-winners with the Cardinals. Sophomore backup Ryan Chalifoux could start when Louisville (5-3, 3-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) visits Miami on Nov. 9 after a bye. - AP College Football

10/27/19 - Malik Cunningham, rSr/2023, Louisville, 6-0, 200 (DS#14 QB) + More +

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 their 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.

Getting 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 season 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

10/26/19 - Jacques Turner, rSr/2022, Louisville, 6-1, 290 (DS#999 DT) + More +

Kevin Perkins ran for his first two touchdowns as a Golden Eagle and the Southern Miss defense smothered Rice 20-6 on Saturday. Perkins gave Southern Miss a 10-0 halftime lead with a 2-yard run to cap a 10-play, 67-yard drive. He added a 38-yarder up the middle with 32 seconds left in the game. The Owls (0-8, 0-4 Conference USA) managed only 8 yards rushing and 131 in the air. The Golden Eagles (5-3, 3-1) had a season-high eight sacks, led by Jacques Turner with 3 1/2. Andrew Stein kicked field goals of 23 and 34 yards, improving to 12 of 14 this season. Jack Abraham was 23-of-36 passing for 207 yards with an interception. Ten completions went to Tim Jones for 96 yards. Austin Trammell caught a 15-yard pass from Wiley Green for Rice's only points with six minutes left in the third quarter. - Southern Miss/AP College Football

10/13/19 - Evan Conley, rSr/2025, Louisville, 6-2, 210 (DS#999 QB) + More +

Evan Conley ran 41 yards for a critical touchdown with 2:15 remaining, and Louisville held off Wake Forest's late rally to upset the 19th-ranked Demon Deacons 62-59 on Saturday night in the second-highest-scoring game in Atlantic Coast Conference history. Conley also threw two touchdown passes to Dez Fitzpatrick and Hassan Hall returned a kickoff 100 yards for a score to help the Cardinals (4-2, 2-1) spoil Wake Forest's first national ranking in 11 years. The combined 121 points was second only to the 137 scored in Pittsburgh's 76-61 victory over Syracuse in 2016. The teams combined for 1,188 total yards in this one. Wake Forest (5-1, 1-1) trailed 52-31 with less than 6 1/2 minutes remaining before rallying, with backup Sam Hartman - the starter for most of 2018 - throwing two touchdown passes in 35 seconds.

He hit Scotty Washington from 22 yards before his 21-yarder with 3:37 left to Jack Freudenthal - who recovered the onside kick that set up his scoring catch. Conley took a fourth-and-1 keeper 41 yards for a touchdown to give the Cardinals a 62-52 lead with 2:52 remaining - plenty of time for the Demon Deacons to counter, with Hartman leading them 92 yards in seven plays and scoring on a 1-yard keeper with 1:10 remaining. The onside kick squirted downfield, Tutu Atwell came away with it in a pileup with 1:05 left and the Cardinals ran out the clock to seal their first big victory under new coach Scott Satterfield. Micale Cunningham threw a 55-yard touchdown pass to Seth Dawkins and a 9-yarder to Atwell before leaving in the second quarter with an injury. Conley took over and finished 12 of 18 for 196 yards with touchdowns of 15 and 50 yards to Dez Fitzpatrick. Jamie Newman threw three touchdown passes to Sage Surratt - covering 12, 3 and 47 yards - and finished 24 of 41 for 251 yards, but was intercepted twice. - AP College Football

10/12/19 - Jack Plummer, rSr/2024, Louisville, 6-4, 215 (DS#18 QB) + More +

Jack Plummer threw for 420 yards and three touchdowns and Cory Trice returned an interception for a score to break open the game just before halftime, helping Purdue roll past Maryland 40-14. The Boilermakers (2-4, 1-2 Big Ten) snapped a three-game losing streak with their most lopsided win since upsetting No. 2 Ohio State last October. Maryland (3-3, 1-2) still hasn't won consecutive conference road games since 2014 and never had a chance after Trice picked off Tyrrell Pigrome and scored on a 37-yard interception return with 18 seconds left in the first half to make it 30-14.

Plummer was 33 of 41, hooking up with David Bell nine times for 138 yards and two touchdowns. Brycen Hopkins caught 10 passes for 140 yards, both career bests. And all that came after coach Jeff Brohm inserted three new starters on the offensive line — Mark Stickford at left guard, Sam Garvin at center and Eric Miller at right tackle. It couldn't have worked out better. King Doerue was effective on the ground and Plummer took advantage of his protection right from the start. Purdue scored on its first two possessions as Plummer found Bell for a 23-yard TD pass and Doerue scored on a 4-yard touchdown run to make it 13-0. - Purdue/AP College Football
