Around SBN: Indy 500: 'Greatest Spectacle In Racing' Set For Sunday

Cards hold Saturday scrimmage

Here's a portion of what went down according to U of L:

The Cardinals worked the first offense against the second defense and vice versa under hot and humid skies.

After being stalled on the first drive, the first unit, led by quarterback Will Stein, marched right down the field. Stein went 3-for-3 on the drive, hitting Josh Bellamy for 13 yards and Andrell Smith for 14. He capped off the jaunt with a 31-yard pass to Victor Anderson, who rushed for over 100 yards.

Working with the second offense, freshman Teddy Bridgewater looked sharp, capping off his drive with a 25-yard scramble for a touchdown. Jeremy Wright added a pair of touchdowns and Anderson also had a 14-yard scoring play.

The defense recorded five turnovers on the day, including a 56-yard interception return by Terence Simien and Shenard Holton added a pick in the end zone.

Placekicker Chris Philpott booted two field goals, a 44-yarder and later added one from 21 yards. Andrew Fletcher also booted one through the uprights.

Anderson was the team's leading rusher, while freshman Eli Rogers had a huge day at wide receiver.

Season tickets, anyone?

I’m about to rush home to see if mine might have arrived in today’s mail. I am pumped for some Cardinal football!

Yep, got mine

Disappointed not to see Benavides on one of the tickets

SURE! I can afford to buy somebody a $10 ticket.

Maybe Nick will buy me a beer. Not a bad deal either way.

You don't even want to know how many times I called City Scoot for drunk fraternity brothers

when I lived on Bardstown Rd. I’d say I averaged 6 calls a month. I’d offer them a couch to crash on, if they denied it; then they’d get the scooter treatment.

The defense forced 5 TO's - Alright!

The offense committed 5 TO’s – dammit…

That’s what I hate about scrimmage reports

I don't have a depth chart handy.

But if you look at one, based on who snagged them should tell you.

I believe it would be Stein. Aren’t those guys second string safties?

by scorpiocard on Aug 20, 2011 5:56 PM EDT up reply actions  

Defense should be better than the offense in the camp

Should there be 5 turnovers? Probably not. Should the defense have let Vic rush for over 100 yards and get at least 31 yards receiving? Nope.

Give and take. Good and bad.

Like it said though

1st team off vs 2nd team def. Kinda expect off to win that. Otherwise our offense would be in a LOT of trouble this season.

Teddy Bridgewater 25 yard scramble for a touchdown.

That is probably the most promising thing I have heard from him yet. I am excited to see the possibilities that he is going to bring to the field.

Teddy

I see him probably being in the Pat White mold, but with a better arm. Of course, our offense is nothing like what RichRod ran at WVU, so Teddy will likely throw a lot more than White did. Pretty exciting. I would love it if Stein can do a good enough job that Louisville gets some nice leads in the first few games, so Teddy can come in and get good experience in a game without all the pressure.

Any update on Benavides and his foot injury?

SORRY

but this is off topic: How do I embed video URL in a fan post?
Tried selecting video and pasting URL text in the URL box, but it doesn’t work.

by 97E3LPL on Aug 20, 2011 7:56 PM EDT reply actions  

You need the html code, not the url. To get the html code from the video, click ‘Share’ under the video and then click ‘Embed’ and copy the highlighted code. Open the html tab on the fan post page and paste it in. If you selected “Video” you were probably creating a fan shot, in which case you still need to paste the html code in the video section not the url.

heh

thanks Bones, trying now

Robotic Leg...

This has potential. Because if the NCAA declares it illegal, we’ll sue them for discriminating against the world’s first cyborg student-athlete.
