Things did not get off to a promising start for the Louisville football program. After winning the coin toss and getting the ball first, Bobby Petrino called three straight pass plays which ended with a tipped pass at the line, a dropped ball by Trey Smith, and a sack. It took Boston College just five plays to go up 7-0 on the offensive end.
After a second straight three and out for the Cards, Boston College needed just four plays to score once again, this time on a two yard run from backup running back, Ben Glines, the replacement for the injured AJ Dillon.
