Malik Cunningham used his arm and his legs to get Louisville's season on track. The redshirt senior quarterback threw for 195 yards and rushed for 121 more, including a 43-yard scoring run in the third quarter, to lead Louisville to a 20-14 victory over UCF. The Cardinals (1-1) outscored the Knights 13-0 in the second half. Tyron Evans rushed for 75 yards and a touchdown and Tyler Hudson had three catches for 67 yards. UCF (1-1) scored touchdowns on two of its first three possessions, but struggled to get much going the rest of the way. The Knights had their best scoring chance with 2:52 remaining in the fourth quarter but quarterback John Rhys Plumlee was intercepted in the end zone by Jarvis Brownlee. Plumlee was 16-for-34 passing for 131 yards and rushed for 83 yards, but he was sacked four times. Isaiah Bowser rushed for 51 yards and two touchdowns. - Louisville/AP College Football

09/05/22 - Tyler Shough, rSr/2025, Louisville, 6-5, 219 (DS#5 QB) + More +

Texas Tech quarterback Tyler Shough will miss significant time again after re-injuring his non-throwing shoulder in the season opener. Red Raiders coach Joey McGuire said Monday that he expects Shough to be out three to six weeks. The quarterback, in his second year starting at Tech after three seasons at Oregon, has an examination scheduled for Wednesday, and surgery is a possibility. "That's where it could prolong to six weeks if it is," first-year Tech coach McGuire said during his weekly news conference. Shough missed the final eight games last season after breaking his left collarbone during the fourth game.

He started Saturday night and injured that same shoulder in the first half of Tech's season-opening 63-10 win over Murray State. McGuire said this injury is "not exactly" where it was last year, but was still related to the collarbone. Shough didn't have surgery after getting hurt last season. Texas Tech's depth chart for Saturday's home game against No. 24 Houston lists Donovan Smith as the starting quarterback, ahead of Behren Morton. Shough was listed as third on the chart. - AP College Football

09/03/22 - Jack Plummer, rSr/2024, Louisville, 6-4, 215 (DS#18 QB) + More +

Jack Plummer threw three touchdown passes in his debut for California and Craig Woodson returned an interception for a score to lead California to a 34-13 victory over UC Davis on Saturday. The Golden Bears (1-0) shook off a rough start on offense with minus-1 yard in the first quarter to improve to 11-0 all-time against the Aggies (0-1). Plummer threw TD passes of 3 yards to Jeremiah Hunter and 8 yards Jaydn Ott in the second quarter, and a 14-yarder to Mavin Anderson in the fourth quarter of his first appearance since transferring from Purdue.

Woodson helped take control of the game when he intercepted Miles Hastings on the opening drive of the second half and returned it 39 yards for a touchdown that made it 24-7. Plummer finished 23 for 35 for 268 yards. Ott ran for 104 yards to go along with his TD catch. Hastings threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Chaz Davis in the first quarter Ulonzo Gilliam Jr. scored on a 60-yard run in the third quarter for the Aggies. Hastings finished 32 for 50 for 242 yards with two interceptions. - California/AP College Football

Despite missing the final four games of the 2021 season with an ACL injury, Kei'Trel Clark still ranked among the top cornerbacks in the ACC. He tied with former Clemson cornerback Mario Goodrich and Pitt defensive back Erick Hallett to lead the conference in passes defended with 12, breaking up nine, with three interceptions. He's widely considered a future NFL draft pick and can prove it with another strong season. The Virginia native was also one of two Louisville players to make the All-ACC preseason team. There are no more injury concerns at this point, either. When asked if he feels 100%, Clark simply said, "Y'all gon' see." - Courier Journal

08/22/22 - Storm Duck, rSr/2024, Louisville, 6-0, 195 (DS#55 CB) + More +

North Carolina cornerback Storm Duck changed numbers this season, and it may prompt fans to ask, "Who's this?" because he has missed so many games the past two seasons. Duck played in just a combined eight games the past two years because of an array of injuries that kept him sidelined. The Tar Heels sorely missed his presence after a promising freshman campaign in 2019 in which he played in every game and started nine. Duck, who switched jerseys from No. 29 to No. 3, even missed the start of fall camp for undisclosed reasons, but he said he's ready to play in the Heels' season opener on Aug. 27 against Florida A&M. He enters this season confident he can return to form when he was considered the best cover corner on the Heels' roster.

"Obviously, over the last few years it's been hard, but I'm over that hump now," Duck said. "I'm feeling mentally 100 percent confident, physically 100 percent confident since I got back started playing." The last time Duck was truly confident was at the beginning of his sophomore year. He ended his freshman year on high note, with a pick-6 interception return against Temple in Carolina's Military Bowl win. The talk of a potential NFL future for Duck was prevalent as he started the 2020 season. But he suffered a lower-body injury in the fourth quarter of UNC's win at Boston College in the second game of the season and missed the Heels' remaining 10 games. - Raleigh News Observer

08/22/22 - Tyler Shough, rSr/2025, Louisville, 6-5, 219 (DS#5 QB) + More +

Tyler Shough has been named Texas Tech's starting quarterback by new coach Joey McGuire. The announcement Sunday came just less than two weeks before the Red Raiders play their season opener Sept. 3 against Murray State. Shough, a senior in his second year with the Red Raiders after transferring from Oregon, was picked as the starter over sophomore Donovan Smith and redshirt freshman Behren Morton. "I first want to praise all three of our quarterbacks as this was an unbelievable competition," McGuire said. "Tyler has played well and put our offense in position to be effective consistently throughout camp, which has earned him the right to be our starting quarterback. Tyler has a great football IQ and has really captured what we want this offense to look like with the type of responsibility we put on the quarterback." Shough completed 64 of 92 passes (69.6%) for 872 yards and six touchdowns in Texas Tech's four games last season before breaking a collarbone. He had started 11 games at Oregon before joining the Red Raiders. - AP College Football

08/13/22 - Tyler Hudson, Sr/2023, Louisville, 6-1, 196 (DS#81 WR) + More +

Louisville isn't without experienced players heading into Season 4 under Scott Satterfield. The Cardinals return seven players with starting experience on offense and 10 on defense after going 6-7 in 2021. Still, the team lost valuable players like CJ Avery to graduation while others like Tyler Harrell opted to hit the transfer portal. The Cardinals don't have to worry, though, given the host of new players available to help fill in those spots.

When the Cardinals experienced a good amount of turnover among their wide receivers, they turned to the transfer portal to address their need for bodies and experience. Tyler Hudson made the transition from the FCS level at Central Arkansas to Louisville after finishing fourth nationally in receiving yards with 1,242 on 62 catches in 2021. His height (6-foot-2) and experience will be key in helping to bolster Louisville's passing game. - Courier Journal

Whenever "the drive" is discussed from the 2021 Iron Bowl, usually it's in relation to Bryce Young and his Heisman moment. It makes sense, considering Young led the Alabama football offense on a 97-yard march down the field, capped by a 28-yard touchdown pass with 24 seconds left. However, it was also a significant moment for the player on the receiving end of the catch that sent the game to overtime. Ja'Corey Brooks, then a freshman receiver, had only two catches before that game and no touchdowns. Then he became an Alabama hero.

Brooks hadn't spoken to the media until Monday because Alabama freshmen aren't usually made available to reporters, so much of his time at the podium was spent reflecting on that game. "I'm from Florida, so I didn't know how big the Iron Bowl was," Brooks said. "I just went out there and took it play by play. After I got to the sideline, (Jameson Williams) was telling me it was a great catch. During that play, I just tried to execute and do my job." Brooks not only made the catch but did so in a somewhat difficult fashion. Young placed the throw in a perfect window over Brooks' shoulder with a defensive back stuck to him in coverage. Brooks managed to stay in bounds as he secured the catch in the end zone. "In practice, Coach (Holmon Wiggins) tells us to get to the jugs machine multiple times a day," Brooks said. "It's really repetition. Just kept practicing that throughout the week." - Montgomery Advertiser

"You know, I want to get to two scrimmages," McGuire said. "We've had a good spring now. They're way ahead in the playbook. And so there's no excuses."
