LOUISVILLE, Ky – University of Louisville defensive coordinator Bryan Brown praised his defense at Tuesday’s weekly press conference which helped lead the Cardinals to their first win of the season at UCF last Friday night. 
 
Friday night’s performance has served as a confidence booster for the defense, one that Brown hopes his unit can carry into the rest of the season. 
 
“It was huge for us to not only finish a game but when you think about last season we lost multiple games by four points or less while giving up fourth quarter scores,” said Brown. It was huge not only for the defense but the team’s morale as well. It was gratifying to see those guys finish plays because we’ve seen it all fall camp.” 
 
Transfers Jarvis Brownlee (Florida State) and Quincy Riley (Middle Tennessee) were both praised by Brown for their high-energy play and their willingness to step up and make plays when the team needed them. 
 
“Those guys are doing a tremendous job of coming in and embracing the culture as well as doing the best they can to learn the schematics as fast as they have,” said Brown.  They’re great guys to be around and great teammates so the team has really rallied around them. They come in everyday ready to work, give everything they have in the weight room and out there on the field this summer. They’re just competitors so it’s great to have those two guys on our roster right now…
