Strong, No. 21 Louisville seek 1st Senior Day win
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) – Charlie Strong hopes to send this year’s senior class out with a win.
For all the success the Louisville coach has achieved in four years with the Cardinals (9-1, 5-1 American Athletic Conference), he will be seeking his first Senior Day victory when Memphis (3-6, 1-4) visits. Twenty seniors will say goodbye, and it could also be the final home game for junior quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, projected as a first-round NFL draft choice next spring.
Bridgewater, whose Heisman Trophy prospects fell following Louisville’s loss to Central Florida, has been mum on his future. Strong said this week that “people do come back,” noting Heisman winner Tim Tebow’s return for his senior season at Florida.
For now, it’s about the seniors and the No. 21 Cardinals beating the Tigers.
