text: Wow! That's all you can say about UofL's 56-0 mauling of Memphis on Saturday at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium. Either the Cardinals were very good, or the Tigers are really bad. Actually it was probably a combination of both. Senior quarterback Adam Froman threw four first-half touchdown passes - he had only six all of last season - as UofL built a 35-0 halftime lead. Not to be outdone senior Bilal Powell rushed for a career-high 204 yards and two touchdowns as the Cards dominated the line of scrimmage. UofL rolled up 574 yards of total offense, just 1 yard less than they had in its previous game against Arkansas State. Unlike that game, though, the Cards built a big lead and didn't let up. UofL's defense dominated Memphis, which came in with one of the worst statistical offenses in the Football Bowl Subdivision. The Cards held the Tigers to 223 yards of total offense, including only 85 in the second half, as they posted the program's first shutout since 2006 and the first under first-year coach Charlie Strong. Junior wide receiver Josh Bellamy had a big game, hauling in six passes for 112 yards and a pair of touchdowns. And you know it's a good signs when the second-string guys start coming in in the third quarter. Backup quarterback Justin Burke completed 5 of 6 passes for 40 yards and a touchdown, while Jeremy Wright rushed seven times for 58 yards and a score. TOP 3 PLAYS
  3. Ashley gets my vote for Comeback Player of the Year. 4. I think Bellamy is going to have a great two years in a Louisville uniform. 5. If UofL can run the ball like it has been the Cards have a chance to win their Big East opener Friday night against Cincinnati. But right now I like the Bearcats 24-20. Tags:Sports
