HEAD COACH DAVID DOEREN ● Dave Doeren is in his fourth season as head coach

of NC State after two successful seasons leading the Northern Illinois program in 2011-2012.

● In 2015, he took one of the nation’s youngest teams and went to battle against three teams that ended the regular season ranked in the top 10. NC State won four road games in 2015, more than any Wolfpack squad since 2002. No other State team has turned in more road victories since 1957. The team posted numbers on offense and special teams that were among the top marks in school history.

● In 2014, his second year as the head coach at NC State, his team was the second-most improved in the Power 5 conferences. The Wolfpack more than doubled its win total from the previous season, earned a bowl victory and posted its highest team GPA in program history.

● The 2014 Wolfpack squad was only the second in school history to score 40 or more points in five regular season games and posted its best rushing average since 1992. Despite the tough league schedule in 2015, the team posted four 40+ point games and an almost identical rushing output.

● He posted a 23-4 record at Northern Illinois from 2011-12 — leading the Huskies to a pair of Mid-American Conference championships.

SCOUTING THE WOLFPACK

● After dropping the season opener to South Carolina, NC State has countered with four-straight wins to improve to 4-1 overall and 2-0 in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

● Led by defensive end Bradley Chubb, who ranks second nationally in tackles for loss and ninth in sacks, powers an NC State defense that is eighth against the run — allowing 85.6 yards per game.

● Quarterback Ryan Finley hasn’t thrown an interceptions in 257 pass attempts, dating back to last season. The Boise State transfer stands ninth nationally with a 71.9 completion percentage — throwing for 1,403 yards and nine touchdowns.

● H-Back Jaylen Samuels is all over the NC State offense, He ranks fourth nationally in receptions with 43 or 8.6 per game, and also has rushed for 123 yards and a team-best five touchdowns.

● Led by running back Nyheim Hines, who averages 82.2 yards per game, the Wolfpack rush for 168.2 yards per contest and have 13 touchdowns on the ground this season.

● The Wolfpack are one of the best in the country at taking care of the football, turning it over twice all season — ranking third in the country in that category.

● Middle linebacker Jerod Fernandez leads NC State with 44 tackles, while safety Jarius Morehead is second with 31.

SERIES NOTES

● Louisville leads the all-time series 6-1, having won all three meetings since joining the Atlantic Coast Conference in 2014.

● Behind four touchdowns from quarterback Lamar Jackson, the Cardinals raced out to 44-0 halftime lead en route to a 54-13 win at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium last season. Jackson threw for 355 yards and three scores, including one to wide receiver Jaylen Smith, who finished with two recpetions for 90 yards.

● Louisville is 2-0 all-time in Raleigh — the last win a 20-

13 victory in 2015 behind 121 yards rushing from Lamar Jackson.

● Louisville dropped a 31-24 decision to the Wolfpack in the 2011 Belk Bowl in Charlotte, N.C.

● Head Bobby Petrino is 3-0 versus the Wolfpack — all wins coming since joining the ACC in 2014.

WIN INDICATORS

● There are many things that go into whether a team wins a game, but a long-term look at the trends during Bobby Petrino’s tenure at Louisville shows that winning the turnover battle and winning the run game are two of the easiest ways to predict a Louisville victory.

● Under Petrino, when the Cardinals win the turnover battle, they are 35-4 (89.7 pct.) They are 11-1 (91.7 pct.) in games when they commit zero turnovers. Louisville is 65-7 under Petrino when outrushing the opponent (90.3 pct.) and is 42-2 (95.4 pct.) when holding the opponent under 100 yards on the ground.

● History also shows that Louisville is tough to beat when it takes a lead into halftime, as the Cardinals are 64-6 when leading at intermission under Petrino (91.4 pct.).

MARGIN OF VICTORY

● After a disappointing loss to Clemson, the Cardinals have responded with big wins over Kent State and Murray State in consecutive weeks — winning by an average margin of 84 points. Louisville defeated Kent State 42-3 and Murray State 55-10.

● The 84 points is the largest margin of victory in back-to-back games since the first two contests of the 2016 season when the Cardinals defeated Charlotte 70-14 and Syracuse 62-28 — a combined total of 90 points.

● The 55 points scored versus Murray State was the 15th time under head coach Bobby Petrino that one of his teams tallied over 50 points at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium.

HO-HUM 4-1 AGAIN

● With the win over Murray State, the Cardinals upped their record to 4-1. That start has been very familiar to head coach Bobby Petrino, who has started 4-1 or better in seven of his eight seasons at Louisville. His 2015 squad was the only team not to win four of its first five games,when he team began the year at 0-3 before rebounding to finish at 8-5.

● Louisville raced out to a 4-1 start and went on to win its next five games to improve to 9-1, before falling in its next three contests to end the year at 9-4.

● His best start to a season came in 2006 when his Cardinals began the year at 8-0 before falling at Rutgers.

ACC ROLL

● After posting identical 5-3 Atlantic Coast Conference records in 2014 and 2015, the Cardinals have been one of the best teams in the conference. Louisville finished 2016 with a 7-1 record, tying for the Atlantic Division championship with Clemson.

WINNING AT HOME UNDER PETRINO

EXPANSION SET FOR 2018 SEASON OPENER

● The University of Louisville’s Cardinal Athletic Fund (CAF) has accelerated the completion of a $63-million project for Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium and the Howard Schnellenberger Complex. Originally scheduled for completion for the 2019 football season, the new expansion will be ready for opening in 2018. The expedited schedule is due to major gifts from Pepsi, the Kueber Family, and a recent $5 million pledge by Norton Healthcare. Additionally, within one year, fans and supporters donated approximately $47 million toward the project.

● The Cardinals began construction on the new expansion in November 2016 after the final home game. The Cardinal Athletic Fund’s staff has helped sell all 1,000 club seats, 70 premium boxes, and 12 exclusive field level suites.

● The first phase of the project that will be noticeable to the fans will be the seating structure for the interior bowl that will be in place for the start of the 2017 season. Approximately 10,000 seats will be added to the north end zone, which will go on sale to the public in early 2018.

● Beginning January 1, 2018, renovations are scheduled to begin on the football complex, which includes dramatic changes to the training areas and improving the overall student-athlete experience. An additional 100,000 square feet of space will allow the team’s weight room and conditioning center to double in size, creating space for team workouts, conditioning, and an enhanced athletic training space equipped with a state-of-the-art hydrotherapy area.

● A luxurious and spacious players’ lounge, improvements for coaches’ offices and the team locker room, and expansive theatre-style meeting areas also will be among the major improvements dedicated for student-athlete development.

FRESHMEN WIDE RECEIVERS SHOW PROMISE

● Wide receivers have been at an abundance under head coach Bobby Petrino during his tenure, which looks like the pattern will continue this season. However, a couple of freshmen have stood out in the absence of Jaylen Smith — the Cardinals’ leading receiver — who is out with a wrist injury.

● In the win over Murray State, freshman Corey Reed burst on the scene with his best game, catching four passes for 94 yards, including a 57-yard receptions. A native of Fulton, Ga., Reed averaged 23.4 yards per catch.

PAPA JOHN’S

CARDINAL STADIUM

PAPA JOHN’S CARDINAL STADIUM INFORMATION

● Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium, which first opened in 1998, featured a capacity of 42,000 and was expanded in 2010 to the present capacity of 55,000. In the last expansion, approximately 12,000 additional chairback seats were added to a second deck on the east side of the stadium in the UPS Flight Deck. The project included 33 new luxury suites on the Stites & Harbison Suite Level and 2,000 premium loge seats were added to the east side.

● A 60-foot wide Norton’s Terrace was constructed at the top of the south end zone, connecting the east and west sides of the stadium. Also included in the previous expansion was the PNC Club, a 20,000-square-foot, glass-enclosed area that stretches from end zone to end zone at the loge level on the east side of the stadium.

● The temperature-controlled club features a full-service bar, concessions, large-screen televisions, lounge seating and tables. It also has more than 1,700 outdoor seats under cover with heaters and fans.

● Louisville’s home currently is undergoing a $63-million renovation to expand the north end zone – closing off the stadium – and enhancing the Howard Schnellenberger Football Complex.

● Upon conclusion of the 2016 campaign, crews began construction and the first noticeable phase of the project will be the seating structure for the interior bowl – set to be in place for the start of the 2017 season.

● Approximately 10,000 additional seats are being added with the expansion, creating a unique look in the end zone structure and increasing the total seating capacity to approximately 65,000.

● The construction also provides an additional 40,000 square feet of space.

● The expansion also includes 1,000 modern club seats, 65 premium loge level boxes, and 10 exclusive field level suites. The club seats will have access to a premier gathering area that will provide viewing access to the field. Fans in that area will have an exclusive view to the players, who will be running onto the gridiron from a middle of the field level entrance after exiting the football complex through a tunnel.

● On Jan. 1, 2018, renovations are scheduled to begin on the football complex, which includes dramatic changes to the training areas and improving the overall student-athlete experience. An additional 100,000 square feet will allow the team’s weight room and conditioning center to double in size, creating space for team workouts, conditioning, and an enhanced athletic training space equipped with a state-of-the-art hydrotherapy area.

● A luxurious and spacious players’ lounge, improvements for coaches’ offices and the team locker room, and expansive theatre-style meeting areas also will be among the major improvements.

Lamar Jackson threw two touchdown passes and compiled 485 total yards Saturday, helping No. 16 Louisville escape with a 35-28 victory over Purdue.

The mistake-prone Cardinals snapped a three-game losing streak.Jackson, of course, was the difference. He went 30 of 46 with 378 yards through the air

while running 21 times for 107 yards. He also moved into the top five in school history on TD passes and yards rushing.

And when Louisville (1-0) needed the defending Heisman Trophy winner to be at his best in the fourth quarter, he didn't disappoint.

Jackson hooked up with Dez Fitzpatrick on a 20-yard score with 9:01 remaining to give the Cardinals a 32-28 lead then drove them into field goal position on the ensuing possession to make it a seven-point game.

Purdue (0-1) couldn't rally in coach Jeff Brohm's debut, losing its eighth straight.Louisville blew three scoring chances in the first half - losing two fumbles at the goal

line and mismanaging the clock at the end of the half. The Boilermakers converted another fumble recovery in the third quarter into a touchdown and nearly forced a fourth fumble.

Louisville also was called for five false start penalties in the first 16 minutes, finished with nine and had another penalty for an illegal snap. Cornerback Jaire Alexander, an All-American hopeful, got hurt on an ill-advised return off of a blocked field goal, costing the Cardinals 19 yards on a play that nearly resulted in yet another turnover. Alexander did not return.

Purdue took advantage of the miscues by building a 14-10 halftime lead, extending it to 21-13 in the third quarter and then retaking the lead on Elijah Sindelar's 14-yard TD pass to Jackson Anthrop with 10:48 left.

But Jackson put it away by leading Louisville to back-to-back scores.

Lamar Jackson shrugged off preseason questions about his chances of becoming only

the second two-time Heisman Trophy winner, saying it wasn’t a focus when he won it last

year, nor would it be this fall.

That approach is working just fine, too.

Jackson accounted for 525 total yards and six touchdowns to help No. 17 Louisville pull

away late and beat North Carolina 47-35 on Saturday, giving him more than 1,000 yards of

total offense in two games.

“Last night I thought about that, like, ‘Wow, this man here is special,’” said receiver Dez

Fitzpatrick, who had two TD catches from Jackson. “He can do it all. He can throw, he can

run, his football IQ is off the charts — everything. Really, just a once-in-a-lifetime type of

quarterback.”

The junior threw for 393 yards and three scores while also running for 132 yards

and three TDs. The last came on a spinning-through-tacklers 11-yard run with 3:06 left

to punctuate a dominant fourth-quarter effort by the Cardinals (2-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast

Conference).

Jackson had 485 total yards in last week’s win against Purdue, with 107 of those coming

on the ground.

“When you’re in a situation, in a 1-on-1 with him, in open space, he’s going to win,” UNC

coach Larry Fedora said. “And there’s times when you’re in a 2-on-1 in open space he’s

going to win. There aren’t a whole lot of guys that can do that.”

Junior Jaylen Smith had nine catches for a career-high 183 yards and a score for

Louisville, which rolled to 705 yards.

The Cardinals trailed 28-27 entering the final quarter, but went ahead on Jackson’s

3-yard keeper with 13:50 left. Louisville’s defense then came up with two fourth-down stops

— one at its own 1-yard line — to end promising drives by the Tar Heels (0-2, 0-1).

Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson accounted for 381 yards of total offense and three touchdowns, but the No. 14 Cardinals fell 47-21 at home to third-ranked Clemson in a Saturday night Atlantic Coast Conference showdown.

Jackson passed for 317 yards and three TDs, but most of that came with things already in hand for Clemson (3-0, 1-0 ACC). The Tigers’ Dorian O’Donnell returned an interception 44 yards for a TD and a 26-7 third-quarter lead, and they sacked Jackson five times. Kelly Bryant had TD runs of 8 and 1 yards sandwiched around a 79-yard scoring pass to wide-open Ray-Ray McCloud in the second quarter.

Jackson had TD passes of 11 yards to Charles Standberry, 36 yards to Jaylen Smith and 8 to Dez Fitzpatrick. But the junior struggled to throw and run all night for Louisville (2-1, 1-1 ACC). The Cardinals were outgained 613-433, even with a 14-point fourth quarter.

Louisville got the easy bounce-back victory it expected and Lamar Jackson broke a school record to boot.

Jackson accounted for three touchdowns to set a Louisville record with 88 in his career and the No. 19 Cardinals routed Kent State 42-3 Saturday.

A week after his team was soundly beaten by Clemson, Cardinals coach Bobby Petrino was happy with the effort but disappointed by four turnovers.

“We basically came out and took care of business,” Petrino said.Despite missing Jaylen Smith, the team’s top receiver, Jackson threw for 299 yards and

two touchdowns on 18-of-22 passing. His 16-yard touchdown pass to Javonte Bagley in the third quarter ended the scoring and gave him a school record for total touchdowns, breaking Chris Redman’s career mark.

Jackson, the Heisman Trophy winner, finished with 333 yards total offense and three scores in three quarters of action against a defense ranked No. 119 in the country.

“I’m trying to win all these games,” he said. “I’m not worried about the Heisman.”He put the Cardinals in position to win quickly. On the first play of the game, he

connected with tight end Jordan Davis on a 69-yard reception. Four plays later, on fourth-and-goal, Malik Williams’ 3-yard run gave the Cardinals a 7-0 lead over the Golden Flashes (1-3) less than two minutes into the game.

Louisville racked up 188 yards of offense and used a Trumaine Washington 37-yard interception return to lead 21-0 after a quarter. About the only thing that could match the Cardinals 539-yard offensive performance was a squirrel that made its way on the field in the second quarter. The squirrel’s dash across the goal line drew cheers from the crowd.

Louisville’s defense held Kent State to just 150 yards and also forced three turnovers.Kent State’s Paul Haynes, who served as Louisville’s secondary coach in 2002 and

as Petrino’s defensive coordinator at Arkansas, coached from the press box for the second straight week after returning from prostate cancer surgery

In a week full of outside distractions, No. 17 Louisville was focused on the field with overwhelming results.

Lamar Jackson had a short but productive day, throwing for 249 yards and three touchdowns in just over a half and the Cardinals (4-1) routed Murray State 55-10 on Saturday.

The reigning Heisman Trophy winner, who had just one play after halftime, added 100 yards rushing and a TD on seven carries. He’s now just 13 yards short of becoming the seventh player in Atlantic Coast Conference history to reach 10,000 total career yards.

“He’s a freak of nature, honestly,” said redshirt freshman wide receiver Dez Fitzpatrick, who caught two of Jackson’s touchdown passes. “He’s something I’ve never seen before. I’m just blessed playing with him.”

Jawon Pass stepped in after Jackson left, throwing for 115 yards and one touchdown and added another TD on the ground with 29 seconds left in the game. The two completed passes to 14 separate players as the Cardinals totaled 364 yards through the air. Louisville rolled up 312 yards on the ground.

The Cardinals led 35-3 at halftime as they held the Racers (1-4) to eight rushing yards in the first half. The Racers’ only touchdown came after Pass fumbled the snap on the first play in the third quarter and defensive back Jason Johnson recovered and returned it 23 yards for the score.

At halftime, the Louisville men’s basketball team received a more than 90-second standing ovation from the crowd of 47,826 at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium. The school announced David Padgett as the team’s interim coach on Friday. The school has acknowledged its involvement in a federal investigation and placed head basketball coach Rick Pitino on unpaid administrative leave.

“It’s been a hard week and heartbreaking for our university and our city,” coach Bobby Petrino said. “But one of the things we wanted to do as a team was just really focus, stay together, hopefully play well and give some inspiration to the fans and the city of Louisville.”
