MIAMI - Anthony Allen scored two touchdowns,
one on a trick play, and Brian Brohm threw for 311
yards to lead Louisville past Wake Forest 24-13 in
the 2007 FedEx Orange Bowl.
The Cardinals averaged 39 points and ranked
second in the nation in total offense this season, but
fell behind 13-10 in the final period before their
offense went into high gear. Alphonso Smith nearly
blocked Carmody’s errant kick and also harried
Louisville’s punter into a 14-yard boot that set up a
44-yard field goal by Sam Swank of Wake Forest.
But Sam Swank made a 36-yarder to cap a 61yard
drive and put the Demon Deacons ahead 13-10
early in the fourth quarter. The Cardinals responded
with an eight-play drive capped by Allen’s 1-yard
plunge for a 17-13 lead with 12:31 to go. They
quickly forced a punt, and mounted a 10-play drive
that ended with Brock Bolen’s 18-yard scoring run.
Brohm finished 24-for-34 and was chosen the
game’s most valuable player. The Demon Deacons
trailed 10-3 at halftime but scored on their first
possession of the third period when Nate Morton
slipped behind the Louisville secondary to catch a
30-yard TD pass from Skinner.

January 2
Virginia Tech ................................... 35
Louisville ......................................... 24
JACKSONVILLE, FLA. — Virginia Tech
had a much better experience in the River City this
time around. Marcus Vick threw two touchdown
passes and the 12th-ranked Hokies rallied to beat
No. 15 Louisville 35-24 in the Gator Bowl. Virginia
Tech overcame numerous penalties, the absence of a
key offensive lineman and the ejection of a
defensive leader to rebound from a surprising loss to
Florida State on the same field in the Atlantic Coast
Conference championship game. The Hokies scored
on three consecutive possessions in the second half,
turning a 17-10 deficit into a 28-24 lead. James
Anderson sealed the victory when he intercepted
Hunter Cantwell’s pass and returned it 39 yards for
a touchdown with 5:04 to play. Vick was huge in
directing the comeback, which snapped a five-game
winning streak for Louisville. He completed a 54yard
pass to David Clowney, and Cedric Humes
scored on the next play from 24 yards. Chris Ellis
sacked Cantwell on the ensuing drive and knocked
the ball loose. Anderson recovered near midfield,
and Vick did the rest.He threw two deep passes that
might have been caught if not for pass interference
penalties. Two plays later, he found Jeff King for
the go-ahead score.

2004 Liberty Bowl
December 31
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — In the highest scoring
AutoZone Liberty Bowl ever, it was a
defensive play by Louisville that ended Boise
State’s 22-game winning streak. Louisville
safety Kerry Rhodes intercepted a pass in the
end zone as time expired to preserve
Louisville’s 44-40 victory over 10th-ranked
Boise State. Eric Shelton scored on the go-
ahead touchdown on a 1-yard run with 6:48
left. Stefan LeFors threw two touchdowns and
ran for a third for the Cardinals. Quarterback
Jared Zabransky drove the Broncos to the
Louisville 30 before his final pass was
intercepted by Rhodes as time expired.
Everyone expected a high-scoring game in a
bowl pairing the nation’s top two offenses, and
the teams didn’t disappoint as they swapped
the lead five times. The 84 combined points
topped the 80 points by Colorado and Alabama
in 1969 and was one of a handful of records set.
Louisville won only for the second time in
seven bowls despite a season-high four
turnovers. The Cardinals rolled up 564 yards,
topping 500 yards for the ninth time this
season. LeFors was 18-of-26 for 193 yards and
ran 12 times for 76 yards. The Cardinals rushed
for 329 yards against a defense that had been
the nation’s fourth-best against the run.
