LOUISVILLE, Ky. -Kicking off their 2022 season on the road in upstate New York, Louisville (0-1, 0-1 ACC) was unable to parlay their offseason buzz into on-field results, falling 31-7 to ACC rival Syracuse at the JMA Wirele s Dome.Next up, Louisville will stay on the road and travel to Orlando for a matchup with UCF (1-0, 0-0 American. Kickoff against the Knights is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 9 at 7:30 p.m. EST.Prior to their upcoming matchup, head coach Scott Satterfield, offensive coordinator Lance Taylor and defensive coordinator Bryan Brown took time to meet with the media.They discu sed the previous game at Syracuse, previewed the upcoming game at UCF, and more.Below is the transcript from Satterfield's pre s conference, as well as the videos from Taylor and Brown's pre s conference:(Opening Statement)Good afternoon. Just to talk about the game last week (at Syracuse), were obviously very disappointed in the way we came out and played. Defensively starting out the game, they had about a six-and-a-half-minute drive on the very first drive. A positive was we held them to a field goal which was good, but then the next two drives defensively resulted in touchdowns. On that side of the ball, we didnt tackle well. Obviously, (Sean) Tucker's a great player, an All-American Jason Myers Jersey type running back, and we knew that coming in. (Garrett) Shrader, the quarterback, is obviously a good talented runner as well; I thought he played really well against us and had one of his better games throwing the ball. Negative against him was, again, tackling. Several times we had third and long and we got guys right there, we don't wrap up and he's able to get out and get first downs and extend drives, which was disappointing. Offensively were disappointed with the fact that we had some procedure penalties. Obviously, the environment had something to do with that. We knew it was going to be loud, worked on it last week in the indoor, cranked the crowd noise up and the music up loud. Couldn't hear anything in there either, so we were prepared for it. But obviously, when it's game time, things are a little bit different. And were very disappointed on the goal line, we get down there on the two-yard line and we get a false Gary Jennings Jr. Jersey start. You back up five yards right there. Obviously, it's hard to score as it is, so you dont want to shoot yourself in the foot with that. Then, in the second half, its still a relatively close game, two po se sions there, but we just never did move the ball. We came out and had the ball about nine minutes in the third quarter and just couldn't get in the endzone.Again, didn't play well. Give credit to Syracuse, they came out and played really well, and we did not match that intensity. We got to do better. This week, were playing at Central Florida in another environment that will be challenging, when you think about all the things they got going on down there at the Bounce House. They had a big win last week against South Carolina State, put up some great numbers, offensively and defensively. Theyve got a new quarterback who transferred in from Ole Mi s (John Rhys Plumlee), a better runner than Shrader from Syracuse. He's faster. I think there was a couple games when he was at Ole Mi s, against LSU, he maybe rushed for about 250 yards, or right around there, 230. So he is very, very fast. They have some great speed on that side of the ball at Central Florida, thinking about receivers, #4 (Ryan OKeefe), can go but they have others too. Their big back, #0 (Johnny Richardson), who's a bruiser. They go fast, have a fast tempo. Coach (Gus) Malzahn does a really good job with that. Theyre coming off a big bowl win last year against Florida (in the Gasparilla Bowl), then obviously the first one at home (vs. South Carolina State). Theyll be a Nick Vannett Jersey well-rested team, they played last Thursday night and then rested their starters in the second half when you go back and watch the film. So itll be a big challenge for us this week, obviously to get ready. We have to have a great week. It's a lot more mental this week coming off a short week, having to get on a plane on Thursday. So we practiced Sunday, we practiced yesterday, and today, so there won't be a day off in between. You got to practice every single day to get ready, which is just a little bit different when you think about a six-day turnaround. With that, Ill just open up questions.(Given that the emphasis coming off of last season was being more physical, more aggre sive, and a better tackling team, why do you think it was, that even with it being the bulk of the defensive emphasis, that you guys tackled so poorly against Syracuse?)Well, they had a little something to do with it. (Sean Seattle Seahawks Jersey ) Tuckers a really good back, runs low to the ground. Didnt wrap up there a couple of times. They did a good job on a couple of their plays where they moved him out. And now theres one guy, one guy mi ses and you dont have the rest of the team to rally. And we mi sed on the screen play, it was about a 54-yard play for a touchdown. The other thing that really hurt us was the scrambling of the quarterback, where we had him in the backfield several times. Hes a big kid, but we just didnt wrap up, so weve got to do a better job of wrapping up.(How did the team approach practice coming back from Syracuse?)On Sunday, everybody was obviously very disappointed and hurt. Yesterday (Monday), we came back and had a very good practice yesterday, a lot more upbeat, a lot more energy. They lifted weights yesterday as well and then went out there on the practice field and had a really good practice. It was focus, intense, and they got after it, which is what you want to see. You can't be down in the dumps, knowing that we didn't play well, because we know what will happen if you're like that all week long. You go down there with no excitement, no juice, no energy, you're going to get beat bad. So, Ugo Amadi Jersey you have to have that juice, have that energy, you have to bring it all week and I think our guys yesterday did that. They're excited to get on the practice field and try to get better.(Given that it is a mental week, how do you meet the physical challenge of (Isaiah) Bowser when you cant really physically practice?)Well, I think you got to get your mind made up that it's going to be that way, that you're going to be having to tackle a big back right there that's running hard every time he runs. He's a very hard runner, and you got to have your mind made up before you even get on the plane to go. We got to play physical, and we got to come bring it. We got to bring energy and physicality every single play. And I think that's got to be the case because you obviously can't strap pads on and go tackle this week. I mean, you just can't. You want to be fresh, but you have to have your mind made up that its going to be a phys
