Depth Chart:

First Quarter

Eagles move the ball effectively but fumble it at the goal line. AJ Dillon clearly lost the ball, but for the second time in two years it looked like forward progress had stopped. 

Javian Hawkins with a 50+ yard run, and 6 plays and 80 yards later and it's 7-0 Louisville. 

BC immediately responds, a beautiful play action from Anthony Brown to Hunter Long and it's a tie game!

Louisville immediately makes another huge chunk play, bad game so far for Mehdi El Attrach as he whiffed. 14-7 Cardinals end of 1st

Second Quarter

Eagles force a punt, Louisville had it 4th and 2, called timeout looked like they were going for it, but chose to punt. 

Anthony Brown hits a bomb to Zay FLowers after three straight runs, but goes down with a bad looking non-contact injury. Does not look good. Two plays later Dennis Grosel throws a good looking touchdown to Korab Idrizi. 

Javian Hawkins walks into the end zone untouched on an easy touchdown run. BC's defense looks really porous today. Not making any stops. Defensive woes that have plagued Eagles all season continue.

Grosel goes three and out on his first drive. Defense is in complete free fall, 26 yard gain to start drive, Cunningham just misses Atwell for a touchdown. BC forces the punt. 

BC goes three and out. Two runs, a false start and an incomplete pass. 

After a huge punt return is called back on a questionable block in the back, Cunningham hits a 77 yard pass and Hassan Hall scores. Joseph Sparacio. The rout is on. 

What a drive by Denis Grosel, who drives the field and hits Kobay White for a touchdown. BC drops extra point kick but Grosel throws 2 point conversion 28-22. 

Cunningham drives down the field 

THIRD QUARTER

First drive BC defense locks down as Louisville goes with some heavy runs. 

What a drive by the Eagles, Denis Grosel hits Korab Idrizi in the end zone for a touchdown. BC takes the lead 29-28!

FOURTH QUARTER

Sorry had internet issues. What have we missed? Poor defense, a great end around by Travis Levy and a big run by AJ Dillon

Defense makes a huge stop with 7:39 playing. In terms of safety play, Nolan Borgersen and Jahmin Muse need to play more often. 

BC takes the lead on after a great drive led by AJ Dillon and a great 4th down pass by Dennis Grosel to Kobay White. Aaron Boumerhi hits a 45 yard field goal!
