Louisville senior running back Victor Anderson led the way on the ground tonight, rushing for 61 yards and a touchdown on nine carries in the 21-9 win over Murray State. Anderson also caught three passes for 23 yards. Jeremy Wright rushed for just 31 yards on 14 carries.

The Cardinals got out of the gates quickly on offense, scoring 21 points in the first quarter and a half. But things deteriorated as the game wore on, and kicker/punter Chris Philpott finished as the team's 2nd-leading rusher thanks to a pair of fake punt runs.
