Louisville survives scare to beat Memphis, 35-28
Johnny Patrick returned a fumble 21 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter and blocked a field goal to set up another score in Louisville’s 35-28 victory over Memphis on Friday night at Memphis, Tenn.
Trent Guy returned a kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown and caught a 43-yard scoring pass from Hunter Cantwell to help the Cardinals (3-2) prevail against their former Conference USA rival.
Memphis quarterback Arkelon Hall threw for 350 yards and completed a rare trifecta -- throwing for two scores while adding a touchdown rushing and receiving -- but couldn’t lead the Tigers (3-4) to their fourth straight win.
Victor Anderson had 81 yards rushing, and Cantwell finished with 133 yards and two touchdowns for Louisville.
