Louisville tops Rutgers

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Louisville intercepted passes on back-to-back drives in the fourth quarter, the second by Terell Floyd to set up Teddy Bridgewater’s 3-yard touchdown pass that clinched the Cardinals’ 24-10 victory over Rutgers on Thursday night.

Defense was the story for the eighth-ranked Cardinals (6-0, 2-0 American Athletic Conference), who had four interceptions, sacked Gary Nova eight times and held Rutgers to 12 yards rushing. Safety Calvin Pryor led Louisville’s stifling effort with 14 tackles and a fourth-quarter interception in holding the Scarlet Knights (4-2, 1-1) to 240 yards.
