Cards Destroy Cats

As I told one UK fan seated near me at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium, Louisville's 31-point blowout of the Wildcats may not mean as much down the road, as UK's Wesley Woodyard ended Heisman Trophy candidate Michael Bush's season with an awkward tackle. The Cards will likely miss Bush's short yardage efforts in such titan matchups as are scheduled with Miami and West Virginia.

What's amazing is the amount of yardage the Cardinals continued racking up using second and third string running backs, however, after Bush left the game. The Cards almost didn't miss a single step.

Just look at these numbers to see how overwhelming the Cards' domination proved:

Louisville had 31 first downs; Kentucky had 8.
Louisville had 631 total yards; Kentucky had 260.
Louisville had 363 yards rushing; Kentucky had 22. 22!
Louisville's Brohm threw for 254 yards, almost matching the entire UK team output.

What happens to Bush, now, remains the biggest question. Will he redshirt, or will he leverage his 2005 production to earn a spot in the NFL? Whichever he chooses, Bush is sure to find success. One thing's certain. The kid deserves it.
