CENTRAL FLORIDA’S LATE TD STUNS NO. 8 LOUISVILLE

Friday’s game: Blake Bortles and Central Florida had one last rally left, and it was enough to topple Teddy Bridgewater and No. 8 Louisville.

Bortles threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Jeff Godfrey with 23 seconds left and the Knights stunned the Cardinals by rallying for a 38-35 victory in Louisville, Ky., on Friday night, ending Louisville’s perfect start.

Down 28-7 midway through the third quarter, the Knights (5-2, 2-0 American Athletic Conference) scored three touchdowns in a 7:22 span to tie the game.

Louisville (6-1, 2-1) reclaimed the lead on Dominique Brown’s 15-yard run with three minutes to go, but the Knights drove 75 yards in 11 plays to take the lead for good on Bortles’ TD and then held off the Cardinals’ comeback attempt.

Bridgewater made one last desperate heave into the end zone as time expired, but the Heisman Trophy contender was unable to find anyone.

“What can you say? It was a heck of a game,” Knights coach George O’Leary said. “Both teams played their hearts out. That was a great drive and it was a great win in a tough environment.”

Bridgewater finished 29-of-38 passing for 341 yards and two touchdowns. Grambling-Jackson State: Grambling’s proud football program descended into further chaos Friday when the school canceled Saturday’s game against Jackson State after disgruntled players refused to travel to Jackson, Miss.

Jackson State officials announced the cancellation Friday night. Athletic department spokesman Wesley Peterson said that Grambling officials contacted Jackson State to inform them of the decision.

Grambling spokesman Will Sutton said late Friday that the Southwestern Athletic Conference has labeled the game as a “no contest” and that university officials would have no further comment.

Grambling officials met throughout a chaotic Friday, trying to rectify the sour situation between players and administration. Apparently, nothing could be worked out so that the game could be played.

SWAC Commissioner Duer Sharp said according to league rules, Grambling will forfeit and the school will be fined.

Friday’s apparent player boycott was the latest in three days of upheaval for Grambling’s proud program — which rose to prominence under coach Eddie Robinson. Several media outlets have reported that players did not attend practice on Wednesday and Thursday because of issues with program and school leadership.
