On Saturday, the Louisville Cardinals defeated the 16th-ranked SMU Mustangs 41-31 at L&N Federal Credit Union Stadium, marking the program's first victory over SMU.
SMU led 17-14 at halftime behind running back Kendrick Raphael, who rushed for a career-high 197 yards and three touchdowns before Louisville regained the lead in the third quarter.
Keyjuan Brown guided the Cardinals with a career-high 163 rushing yards and two long touchdowns, helping the team total 269 rushing yards—the most since 317 yards against Boston College last year.
