Cardinals Edge Out Ole Miss in Thriller | Louisville Football News

Louisville dropped a heartbreaker to No. 9 Ole Miss, falling 41-38 after rallying from a 14-point deficit with six minutes left—only to see Ole Miss hit a game-winning field goal as time expired. Quarterback Lincoln Kienholz dazzled in his debut, throwing for over 300 yards and rushing for nearly 70, signaling big things ahead. The Cards surged in the second half with 32 points—their highest halftime comeback under Coach Brohm—and avoided turnovers for the first time this season, even though they still lost despite winning the turnover battle. New transfers Tre Richardson and Lawayne McCoy made explosive plays, while sophomore kicker Carson Hilbert nailed three field goals—including two from over 40 yards—continuing a family legacy (his dad was a Louisville kicker in the late 90s). Despite the loss, Louisville remains ranked—a first for the program after opening with a defeat. They’re heavy favorites tonight against Villanova, who’s had a shaky start, and will look to snap their losing streak with their first win of the year.
