Teddy Bridgewater will look to end his college career with a win over Miami in the Russell Athletic Bowl as the junior is expected to leave Louisville after this season concludes tonight.
"This is a very talented young man. He has great command on the offense," Miami coach Al Golden said per ESPN. "... He has speed, good corps of receivers, knows how to distribute the football, doesn't make many mistakes with the football, can move in the pocket. It's going to be a great challenge for our corners and safeties."
Bridgewater is 268-for-382 for 3,523 yards with 28 touchdowns and four interceptions.
Bridgewater, a Miami native, now has the opportunity to defeat the school he nearly went to tonight. Bridgewater is one of 23 Miami-area players that play for the Cardinals.
The Hurricanes are looking to garner their first double-digit win total for a season since 2003.
"Our kids are excited, I think they're grateful," Golden said per ESPN. "They've been through a lot the past two years, and they have not been able to have this opportunity. They're practicing with a purpose, they're excited, and clearly they have a really tough opponent coming up."
Miami native and Hurricanes quarterback Stephen Morris is excited for the opportunity that lays in front of his team. Morris is 186-for-317 for 2,868 yards with 21 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.
"It'd be a great challenge and a great headline for a lot of people," Morris said. "Teddy's a great quarterback. .... A lot of people would focus on that, two quarterbacks from Miami going at it."
