The Louisville Cardinals football team represents the University of Louisville in the sport of American football. The Cardinals compete in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Big East Conference.
Howard Schnellenberger started the program's rise to relevancy after winning the Miami Hurricanes' first national championship. After winning only eight games in his first three years at Louisville, Schnellenberger won 32 over his last five, including a 10–1–1 season in 1990. Under the guidance of coaches John L. Smith and Bobby Petrino, the Cards made nine straight bowl game appearances from 1998 to 2006 and earned national rankings as high as sixth in 2004 and 2006. Louisville won 41 games in Petrino's four years as head coach (2003–2006), going 13–3 in Conference USA, 11–3 in the Big East, and 2–2 in bowl games.
Louisville went 12–1 in 2006, winning the Big East championship and the Orange Bowl, to date the school's only appearance in a Bowl Championship Series bowl game. The Cardinals had hopes of playing in the BCS National Championship Game before losing at Rutgers in November. After winning the Orange Bowl, Petrino left for the NFL's Atlanta Falcons. Less than 48 hours after Petrino's resignation, Steve Kragthorpe was hired from the University of Tulsa, where he had gone 29–22 in four years as a head coach. Kragthorpe had unforeseen problems at Louisville however and the Cardinals' fortunes went steadily downhill. After finishing the 2009 season 4–8, another coaching change was made.
On December 9, 2009, Charlie Strong was hired as Louisville's 21st head coach. Strong had been a defensive coordinator for 11 years at South Carolina and the Florida Gators, studying under the likes of Lou Holtz and Urban Meyer. Although finally just obtaining his first head coaching position at the age of 50, Strong's energy immediately rejuvenated the Louisville fan base.

[edit] Facilities
[edit] Papa John's Cardinal Stadium
The Louisville Cardinals football team plays its home games at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium. The stadium was constructed with a capacity of 42,000 in 1998 for $63 million. However, the university completed a major expansion and renovation for the 2010 season. The $72 million project, which began in December 2008, features an elevated south-end terrace connecting the east and west sides of the stadium, 33 additional suites, 1,725 additional club seats, a second 100-yard-long club room, and 13,000 more chairback seats, bringing the total capacity to 55,000-plus.
Papa John's Cardinal Stadium will play host to its 14th season of Cardinal football in 2011 and has become one of the best home fields in the country. Specifically, since 1998, the Cardinals are 61-21 at home. Louisville won a school-record 20 straight home games from 2004 to 2007 (Syracuse snapped the streak with a 38-35 win in 2007). The Cardinals have won 17 of their last 19 non-conference home games since 2003. The structure, which sits on the south end of the metropolitan campus, is constructed with the ability for future expansion to more than 80,000 seats.[1]
The Howard Schnellenberger Football Complex which honors the former Cardinal head coach, also sits inside the stadium area and houses the team's coaches, staff, training room, strength and conditioning area and academic services for the student athletes. Schnellenberger initially proposed building the on-campus Papa John's Cardinal Stadium during his tenure at Louisville and is credited with keeping the project alive. [2]
[edit] Trager Center
The University of Louisville's Trager Center indoor practice facility just north of Papa John's Cardinal Stadium, was officially opened on Thursday, Dec. 1 and used by the Cardinal football team. The indoor practice facility features a 120-yard FieldTurf field, a 100-meter four-lane sprint track, pole vault and long jump pits, as well as, batting cages for both baseball and softball. It's also equipped for the soccer, field hockey and lacrosse teams to use. [3]

[edit] Notable games
[edit] Southern Miss, 1989
After a missed field goal by Louisville that would have given them the lead, Southern Miss was on its own 21-yard line with six seconds left in a 10-10 tie, in October 1989. Quarterback Brett Favre threw a Hail Mary pass that was deflected, but it bounced off the helmet of Southern Mississippi's Michael Jackson and into the hands of wide receiver Darryl Tillman, who scored a touchdown with no time left. The play was later voted on as one of the "Top 5 Memorable Moments" in college football history in an online vote at ESPN.com.
[edit] Southern Miss, 1999
Louisville was tied 27-27 with Southern Miss with under two minutes to go with the 1999 Conference USA title on the line. Facing fourth and 5 at the Louisville 37, Southern Miss went into punt formation. Shawn Mills was leaving the field after getting into a heated discussion with head coach Jeff Bower. The punter, Jamie Purser, threw a 27 yard pass to Mills which led to a Brett Hanna field goal attempt that won the game.
[edit] Florida State, 2002
In a driving rainstorm, remnants of Hurricane Isidore, Louisville hosted the #4-ranked Florida State Seminoles to overtime with a 20-20 tie. In the first play of overtime, FSU QB Chris Rix threw an interception to Louisville's Anthony Floyd. On the second play of overtime, Louisville's Henry Miller took a hand-off from quarterback Dave Ragone and went 25 yards for the game-winning touchdown; the final score was 26-20. The PJCS crowd, which did not sit down the entire game, stormed the field and tore down the goal posts.
[edit] West Virginia, 2005
Louisville was the preseason favorite to win the Big East in 2005, their first season in the league. The then-#19 Cardinals got off to a great start, leading the unranked Mountaineers 17-0 at the half, and limiting the Mountaineers to just 56 total yards in the first half. Louisville continued to hold steady until WVU quarterback Adam Bednarik left the game with an injury. The Mountaineers' dual-threat backup QB Patrick White entered the game and, along with running back Steve Slaton, took charge. With 8:16 left in the fourth quarter, and Louisville leading 24-7, West Virginia reeled off 17 unanswered points (including a controversial onside kick recovery) to send the game into overtime. The extra periods were heated, with each team matching the other step-for-step. During the third overtime, West Virginia's Slaton ran in a touchdown, with wide receiver Dorrell Jalloh pulling in the 2-point conversion. Louisville answered back, with Michael Bush scoring on a 3-yard run. During UL's 2-point attempt, the Mountaineers covered all of Louisville's wideouts, forcing Brohm to tuck and go. West Virginia defensive back Eric Wicks spotted Brohm rushing, and stuffed him at the 3 yard-line. The Mountaineers defeated the Cardinals in three overtimes, 46-44. Louisville would go on to face Virginia Tech in the Toyota Gator Bowl.
[edit] West Virginia, 2006
On a freezing night in early November, the undefeated, #5-ranked Louisville Cardinals played the undefeated, #3-ranked West Virginia Mountaineers in front of the largest national audience to watch an ESPN-broadcast college football game. Louisville was the first team all season to physically match West Virginia's running game, and this resulted in an injury to Steve Slaton. This affected his ball handling, causing him to fumble the ball three times. One was recovered for a Louisville touchdown by linebacker Malik Jackson. Louisville quarterback Brian Brohm threw for 354 yards and one touchdown in a 44-34 Louisville victory over Pat White and the Mountaineers.
[edit] Wake Forest, 2007 Orange Bowl
In its first BCS bowl game in school history, the Louisville Cardinals defeated the Wake Forest Demon Deacons 24-13 in Dolphin Stadium in Miami, FL. It was the last Louisville game coached by Bobby Petrino.
