Louisville Nearly Comes Back, Falls Short in Belk Bowl 31-24

N.C. State sophomore cornerback David Amerson wasn't thinking about breaking records coming into the season. He ended up shattering one few thought would ever fall. Amerson had two interceptions Tuesday night - one that he returned 65 yards for a touchdown and another with 41 seconds left that sealed the Wolfpack's 31-24 victory over Louisville in the Belk Bowl - to give...

First year starting quarterbacks Teddy Bridgewater and Mike Glennon lead Louisville and NC State in Tuesday's Belk Bowl in Charlotte, NC.

1. Teddy Bridgewater is for real True This young freshman had an ok season stats wise. He threw for over 2100 yds and 14tds with 12 ints. His high interception count could be directly related the Cardinals inability to truly establish a run game this year, with neither Brown nor Anderson breaking the 540 yd mark on the season (we will talk about this later). Bridgewater helped lead...

Great being in another bowl but nobody happy just being there.Too many memories of better outcomes, too many reminders that the restoration of the Louisville football program is far from complete.Some of the glaring deficiencies that hindered U of L early in the season resurfaced in the Belk Bowl. The inability to run the ball, to protect the quarterback, to hold on to the ball...

@TheCardConnect: I could see this game going a number of different ways. With the both teams going on over a month without playing a game, it’s hard to predict what will happen. However, the most consistent thing all season has been the Louisville defense. Even in the losses this year, the Louisville defense has always been able to give the offense a chance to win the game...

Mike Glennon threw for 264 yards and three touchdowns and David Amerson returned an interception 65 yards for a touchdown as North Carolina State defeated Louisville 31-24 in the Belk Bowl.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- N.C. State's defense made a habit this season of coming up with big plays at precisely the right time to help the Wolfpack pick up enough wins to reach the postseason. In Tuesday night's Belk Bowl versus Louisville, the defense was charged with that responsibility again, but this time had to make up for an N.C. State special teams that was dominated by...

During last night's Belk Bowl, NC State'sN David Amerson set the ACC record for interceptions in a season with 12—then promptly broke it again with his 13th at the end of the game. His two picks helped him break the previous record of 11 held by UNC's Dre Bly, making it an extra sweet milestone given he wrested the record from the hands of a Tar Heel. His 13 interceptions...

Mike Glennon threw for 264 yards and three touchdowns and David Amerson returned an interception 65 yards for a touchdown as North Carolina State defeated Louisville 31-24 in the Belk Bowl.

If you want to watch a defensive struggle I would recommend this years Belk Bowl. Louisville and NC State have pedestrian offenses that have been supported by stellar defenses all year long. The Wolfpack are led by future star David Amerson and Brandon Bishop at safety and linebacker Terrell Manning. Louisville counters with linebacker Dexter Heyman who ranks among the Big East leaders...
