ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - The frequency of Charlie Strong's message varies depending on who you ask. Some say they hear it almost daily, others contend it's only weekly. While there might be some disagreement on how often it's delivered, there's no debating Strong's message."We've got to play our balls off."
Back in May when Strong had yet to coach his first game at Louisville, he promised a group of boosters his team would play hard, would be intense and would never quit.
And that, oh yeah, he added: "we've got to play our balls off."
That's exactly what the Cardinals did Tuesday night, rallying from a two-touchdown deficit to defeat Southern Miss, 31-28, in the Beef O'Brady's St. Petersburg Bowl at Tropicana Field.
On the first play of the fourth quarter, Zeke Walters' 8-yard touchdown reception from Austin Davis gave the Golden Eagles a 28-21 lead. USM had dominated the game statistically to that point and now clearly had regained momentum.
That lasted exactly 15 seconds.
