Louisville and Toledo met in the Bush’s Boca Raton Bowl of Beans on Tuesday as one of the numerous bowl games scheduled in the lead-up to the second round of the College Football Playoff. It was a competitive game but the Cardinals wound up victorious, beating the Rockets 27–22. Louisville running back Keyjuan Brown had a great day on the ground with 112 yards on 15 carries and quarterback Miller Moss tossed a pair of TD passes to hold off a furious late comeback by Toledo and secure a Cardinals bowl win for the season.
Things got tense near the end of the game, though. As part of a 19-point fourth quarter, Toledo scored a touchdown with two and a half minutes remaining to pull within a few points of Louisville. After a failed two-point conversion the Rockets kicked off while down 27–22. The Cardinals gave the ball to Brown and asked him to finish off his big day with a few key runs to wind down the clock. He obliged, rushing for 17 yards on his first carry and gaining another 14 yards on the next play.
