Overall, Good numbers; Could be better however, the Louisville offense is run first always has been. Nice to see Cunningham be able to pass the ball. The running aspect of Cunninghams game is outstanding! The quarterback would run the ball 554 times for 2,771 rushing yards with 47 touchdowns. 5.0 yards a carry is pretty impressive for a quarterback, absolutely phenomenal.
