Louisville, KY (Sports Network) – Teddy Bridgewater picked apart Ohio’s defense to the tune of 355 passing yards and a career-high tying five touchdowns as No. 9 Louisville rolled over the Bobcats, 49-7, in the season opener for both programs. Auburn transfer Michael Dyer ran for a 46-yard touchdown while Damian Copeland and Kai De La Cruz hauled in two scores apiece for the Cardinals (1-0), who will play in the American Athletic Conference this season prior to joining the Atlantic Coast Conference. Louisville’s defense, a unit that brought back a slew of starters from last year’s Sugar Bowl-winning team, held Ohio to 273 yards and just 13 first downs, most coming with the outcome already decided. The Bobcats (0-1) were unable to duplicate last year’s run of seven straight wins to begin the season, which started with an upset at Penn State. Beau Blankenship was limited to 22 yards on 12 carries after running for a single-season school record 1,604 yards last year, and Tyler Tettleton threw for just 140 yards on 11-of-23 attempts in the humbling loss.
