The Cards won the Music City Bowl for the second time in team history, defeating Mississippi State 38-28.
Louisville (8-5, 5-3) began well defensively, forcing a punt on Mississippi State’s first drive.
On the Cards’ first offensive drive, they drove 96 yards, but red-shirt junior Dez Fitzpatrick fumbled on the one yard line.
The Bulldogs capitalized on the turnover in only eight plays and capped it off with a rushing touchdown by senior Tommy Stevens.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Mississippi State (6-7, 3-5) scored after they drove down the field for 80 yards.
