On the first drive, Ohio defensive captain and leading tackler from a year ago Keith Moore came up limping and headed to the bench on what seemed to be a left leg injury. It is looking like he will head to the locker room with a left ankle injury.
The defense for Ohio looked less than stellar as Teddy Bridgewater led Louisville on an eight play drive that culminated on a 35-yard pass to Damian Copeland. Bridewater went 6-6 passing for 77 yards to give the Cardinals an early 7-0 lead.
