Tyler Shough leads Louisville in rout of Austin Peay

Tyler Shough

Tyler Shough threw for 232 yards and four touchdowns to lead Louisville to a 62-0 season-opening home win over Austin Peay on Saturday afternoon.

Shough, a transfer from Texas Tech, completed 18 of 24 passes in his debut for the Cardinals.

Louisville left no doubt from the start, taking a 31-0 lead midway though the second quarter and a 38-0 advantage at halftime.

The Cardinals opened the scoring on their opening drive of the game, capping a 7-play, 62-yard drive with a 30-yard field goal by Brock Travelstead.

Following a 29-yard punt return by Quincy Riley to the Austin Peay 33-yard line, Louisville took advantage of the field position. The Cardinals claimed a 10-0 lead with 8:10 left in the first quarter on a 9-yard touchdown pass from Shough to Ja’Corey Brooks.

On the first play of the second quarter, Keyjuan Brown scored from 4 yards out.

The Cardinals extended their lead to 24-0 with 10:55 to go in the first half on a 33-yard touchdown pass from Shough to Jadon Thompson.

Following a blocked punt by Devin Neal that gave Louisville the ball at the Austin Peay 35, the Cardinals grabbed a 31-0 lead on a 21-yard touchdown pass from Shough to Mark Redman with 7:17 remaining in the second quarter.

In the final minute of the first half, Louisville’s Austin Smith intercepted a pass and returned it to the Austin Peay 13-yard line.

Shough then hit Thompson on a 5-yard touchdown pass with 10 seconds remaining to give Louisville a 38-0 lead heading into intermission.

The Cardinals added three touchdowns in the third quarter — including a 77-yard scoring run by Isaac Brown and a 22-yard fumble return for a touchdown by Ramon Puryear — to take a 59-0 lead.
