It was a difficult afternoon to say the least for USF Saturday up in Louisville.  Injuries grounded their running game, leaving Matt Grothe basically as their only offensive weapon.

     Grothe did find a way to give USF the lead with 9:22 left in the game, connecting with Ben Busbee.  But the USF defense couldn't finish the job.  Louisville scored on the next series, and held on for a 24-20 win.

    The loss sends USF to 1-2 in the Big East, and possiblyy out of the Top 25 when the new polls come out tomorrow.
