LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Coach Scott Satterfield and his teams have been notorious for their high-performing offense. However, when they needed it most, the defense was key in securing last week’s 20-14 victory over UCF.
“I’m proud of our guys, the way that they bounced back,” said Satterfield. “There were a lot of bad things in that first game (at Syracuse), but they didn’t let it affect them in the second one. We learned from it. We came back, had a great week of practice, and went down there (to UCF). We didn’t play perfect by any means. I felt like there were several plays that we left on the field that we could have done better after going back and watching the film, but nevertheless, in the second half, the defense came out and really just shut them down and kept them out of the end zone.”
The Cardinals’ defense shutout Central Florida’s offense in the second half, the first time in six years that the Cardinals trailed at half and shut out the opposition in the second half. With such strong defensive momentum resulting in a victory, Satterfield hopes his team continues to build their energy against Florida State this weekend.
“I thought yesterday, defensively they had a really good day. There’s still high intensity flying around,” said Satterfield. “I think the energy level was way better in this last contest, which we’ve got to continue to bring in.”
