On Friday, Louisville<\/a> handed No. 2 Miami<\/a> its first loss of the season, in a 24-21 nail-biter. It\u2019s only Louisville\u2019s second win against a top-2 team in the country in program history.<\/p>\n

The Cardinals\u2019 defense was incredible in the win, picking off Miami quarterback Carson Beck<\/a> four times. For reference, Beck only had thrown three total interceptions through Miami\u2019s first five games of the season.<\/p>\n

With just under four minutes left in the game, Miami stopped Louisville and received the ball on its own 15-yard line. The Hurricanes drove down the field, while milking the clock.<\/p>\n

It looked like they would, at least, tie the game with a field goal and potentially find the end zone to secure a win. However, with 32 seconds remaining in the game, Louisville\u2019s TJ Capers<\/a> made a stunning interception on a Miami out route to propel the Cardinals to victory. After the game, Louisville head coach Jeff Brohm<\/a> raved about his team\u2019s pass defense.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you get the lead on him, and you make them throw more then they want, then you\u2019re going to have the advantage, which we finally did that for once this year,\u201d Brohm said. \u201cOur defensive plan was to disguise coming after the quarterback a little bit, get some blitzes that really landed. But, just a great effort from our guys to come on the road and beat a really good football team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Louisville\u2019s secondary wasn\u2019t its only unit that thrived. The Cardinals\u2019 run defense was also stellar, limiting Miami to 63 rushing yards in the win.<\/p>\n

Of course, Louisville\u2019s offense had to hold up its end of the bargain as well. Louisville quarterback Miller Moss<\/a> completed 23-of-his-37 pass attempts for 248 yards and two touchdowns in the triumph, without throwing an interception.<\/p>\n

Running back Isaac Brown<\/a> paved the way for Louisville\u2019s ground game, tallying a game-high 113 rushing yards. With the win, Louisville improved to 5-1 on the season and 2-1 in conference play.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is what college football is all about,\u201d Brohm said. \u201cEvery week, it\u2019s going to be a contest down to the very end, no matter who you play. We knew we were playing a great team.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe knew we had to really be sharp and do some different things. I thought we started hot, got a little cold there, but just kind of hung in there. And our guys just played to the end. That\u2019s what you got to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was a bounce-back win for the Cardinals, who suffered a 30-27 loss to Virginia<\/a> in Week 6. Louisville took advantage of its bye last week and entered Friday with a fantastic game plan.<\/p>\n

Miami entered the game with a 30.7% chance of finishing the regular season undefeated, per ESPN. <\/a>Now, the Hurricanes will have to regroup to attempt to enter the postseason with no additional losses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Friday, Louisville handed No. 2 Miami its first loss of the season, in a 24-21 nail-biter.
