2010 Beef ‘O’Brady’s Bowl

The beginning of the HCCS Bowl appearances.

Louisville 31, Southern Mississippi 28

December 21, 2010 | Tampa, Fla. (20,017)

St. Petersburg, Fla. (AP) - Justin Burke threw for a

pair touchdowns and Jeremy Wright scored on a 95-yard

kickoff return to help Louisville beat former Conference

USA rival Southern Mississippi 31-28 in the Beef ‘O’

Brady’s Bowl.

Burke tossed scoring passes of 11 yards to Cameron

Graham and 10 yards to Josh Chichester while the Cardinals

erased a 14-point first-half deficit, then produced a

go-ahead field goal in the fourth quarter.

Wright’s long kickoff return made it 28-all early in the

fourth quarter. Chris Philpott’s 36-yard field goal gave the

Cardinals their first lead with 6:30 remaining.

Austin Davis completed 19 of 32 passes, including TD

throws of 32 yards to Pierce and 8 yards to Zeke Walters

for the Golden Eagles.

Bilal Powell rushed for 75 yards for Louisville - well below

his season average of 120.9 - however the 215-pound

senior was instrumental in helping the Cardinals exhaust

most of the clock after finally taking the lead.
