Banker Bell's Blog: They're back!!! Well, at least they were last night.

I have been thrilled all day with the thoughts of last night's UofL game versus Kansas St. It seemed our team had returned to the days of old when it was almost a given that we would win at home, that every time we took our offense onto the field we would score and that our defense would play solid.

Hunter Cantwell had a great game and threw many passes that were remarkable. Several passes went into tight coverage but his arm strength and accuracy allowed only the UofL receivers to get their hands on the ball.

Our running game came back last night too. We smacked them in the mouth with runs by Brock Bolen and then dazzled them with the speed and athleticism of Victor Anderson. Victor Anderson. Victor Anderson. Wow, Victor Anderson.

First of all Victor Anderson is an alum of St. X, my alma mater. Second, he is a redshirt Freshman. Third, he brought it last night. The guy can flat out run. He has speed, agility, the ability to make cuts and make defenders miss, the ability to be slick and get away from poeple who actually do touch him, and finally and probably most surprising given his size, he can get extra yardage by moving the pile and scampering for more.

Bolen and Anderson combined for 280 yards rushing with Anderson having 176 yards on 18 carries for an avg. yards per carry of 9.8 and 3 touchdowns. Doug Beaumont, another Louisville native was the leading receiver with 9 receptions for 119 yards.
