The University of Louisville football team will look to win their first conference game of the year, this Saturday, Nov.

It was a tough loss for Marshall against UCF . They led 17-7 at the half and 20-7 after 3Qa s. Marshall had a 43 yard pass called back for illegal use of the hands which set up UCF for a short 43 yard, 7 play TD drive.

Early in the week, Louisville Coach Steve Kragthorpe joked that he had a quarterback controversy.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Louisville's defense can't seem to catch a break against West Virginia.

Coaches hate to use the phrase "must win" and few use it. But for head coaches Bill Stewart and Steve Kragthorpe, Saturday's noon Big East clash between West Virginia and Louisville at Mountaineer Field can best be described as a "must win" for both programs.

The saying goes that the most dangerous animal is a wounded animal. No doubt that West Virginia falls under that category after being totally fleeced by South Florida 30-19 last Friday.

Louisville had to depend on its third quarterback on the depth chart for a 21-13 win over Arkansas State on Saturday night.

The Cardinals led 21-3 with less than 2 minutes to play in the third quarter but had a hard time putting the Red Wolves away for good.

All season long, the University of Louisville football team has found themselves with several chances to gain momentum, make a big play or come away with a big victory.

The University of Louisville football team fell to 2-5 on the season, and 0-3 in the Big East, with a blowout loss to the University of Cincinnati on Saturday.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. - University of Louisville quarterback Adam Froman nearly passed his way into the school record book.

University of Connecticut's top punt returner and starting corner back, Jasper Howard, has died early Sunday morning after an altercation that led to his stabbing.

LOUISVILLE - Adam Froman isn't much on midseason report cards. Good thing, the marks for the Louisville quarterback and the rest of his teammates probably wouldn't be favorable.

Andre Dixon ran for 153 yards and three touchdowns and Connecticut beat Louisville 34-25 on Saturday for the Huskies first Big East win of the season.

Jasper Howard reached in to pull the ball away from Louisville's Bilal Powell and had flashbacks to last year.

Dominic Randolph threw three touchdowns and Holy Cross beat Dartmouth 34-14 on Saturday.

Some of the words coach Randy Edsall used can't be printed but the one that matters most certainly can: "Finish." Edsall was up and down the UConn sideline and in his players' ears as the fourth quarter began Saturday.
