LOUISVILLE, Kentucky (Ticker) -- Steve Kragthorpe has theperfect opponent after absorbing his first defeat atLouisville.


Kragthorpe's 18th-ranked Cardinals host hapless Syracuse onSaturday in the Big East Conference opener for both squads.

Last week, then-No. 9 Louisville came up short at intrastate foeKentucky, 40-34, when Wildcats quarterback Andre' Woodson foundSteve Johnson for a 57-yard touchdown with 28 seconds left.

Star quarterback Brian Brohm threw for 366 yards and twotouchdowns with one interception for the Cardinals, who lead thenation in total offense at 617 yards per game and third inscoring at 55 points per contest.


While the Cardinals could not slow down Woodson and theWildcats, they should have no problem against winless Syracuse,which ranks 116th out of the 119 teams in the Football BowlSubdivision in total offense (198.67).


The Orange, who also rank 101st in total defense (453.33), arecoming off a 41-20 home loss to Illinois. Andrew Robinson threwfor 208 yards for Syracuse, which has shown little progress inthree years under coach Greg Robinson.
