Louisville Cardinals defeat Thundering Herd
The Marshall University Thundering Herd was defeated by the Louisville Cardinals, 59-28, Saturday. This breaks the four game winning streak Marshall had over Louisville.
“There’s no question that’s an excellent team we just got done playing, and that quarterback is a special guy,” Marshall University head coach Doc Holliday said at the post-game press conference Saturday night. “He made a few plays early, and we didn’t make enough plays.”
Louisville entered the contest as the highest ranked team in Football Bowl Subdivision to ever play in Huntington. This changes the overall series to 17-12, favoring the Kentucky-based university.
