LOUISVILLE, Ky. Everton Ribeiro Jersey . -- This was one dominant performance, and Teddy Bridgewater and No. 7 Louisville think they can perform even better. Its definitely a nice problem to have heading into conference action. Bridgewater threw four touchdown passes and Louisvilles defence allowed a school-record 30 yards during a 72-0 wipeout of Florida International on Saturday. It was the highest scoring game for the Cardinals (4-0) since a 73-10 victory over Murray State in 2007. They matched the schools fifth-largest margin of victory while recording their first shutout since a 26-0 win over Connecticut in 2010. Asked afterward if the Cardinals victory was the most complete effort he has seen, Bridgewater said: "As a team, yes. But we feel we have a little way to go and continue to get better each and every day. "Well take this win and build off that." The margin might have been even worse if not for a clock issue in the second half. Gerald Austin, the co-ordinator of officials for Conference USA, acknowledged in a statement that the clock was allowed to run at times when it should have been stopped. FIU coach Ron Turner "made a comment to one of the officials that, given the amount of injuries and the limited numbers of players he had available, he wanted to run the ball in the second half," Austin said in a release. "One official misinterpreted that comment. "After reviewing the tape there were five times that the clock should have been stopped and it did not. Four times were on first down and one play where the runner went out of bounds, based on a quick review of the video." Austin and Turner both said the coach never requested a running clock. "I did notice it was going quicker," Turner said. "First of all, I dont have the authority to request it. I wish I had the authority. Im not saying I wouldnt have, you know, but I did not request it." Bridgewater hit DeVante Parker for two TD passes and Gerald Christian and Eli Rogers for one apiece before Will Gardner came on and passed to Michaelee Harris for another score in the fourth quarter. Dominique Brown, Senorise Perry, Michael Dyer and Brandon Radcliff rushed for TDs. Charles Gaines returned the second-half kickoff 93 yards for a touchdown, and recovered a muffed punt to set up Bridgewaters second TD pass in the second quarter. Meanwhile, Louisvilles defence didnt allow a first down until early in the second quarter and just two overall, also a program record. FIU converted just 1 of 13 third-down chances. Louisville coach Charlie Strong believes that kind of effort will eventually result in perfection. "We try to reach that level and were going to get there," Strong said. "The way you practice, you feel like that (being perfect). ... I tell players all the time just try to give your best, thats all were looking for each and every down." Bridgewater had 212 yards on 17-of-22 passing, part of Louisvilles 464-yard effort against winless FIU (0-4). It was another efficient performance for the junior quarterback. A week after tossing just one touchdown pass against in-state rival Kentucky, Bridgewater threw for three scores by halftime and added another in the third quarter. That got the Cardinals rolling toward the offensive performance they wanted in their final game before travelling to Temple for their American Athletic Conference opener on Oct. 5. "It was just a great overall performance in all three phases of the game," Bridgewater said. "We just went out today and competed and played a complete game." It was a much different outcome than the previous two games in the series. The schools had split two prior meetings, with each earning seven-point road wins. Louisville won 28-21 in Miami last year. The Cardinals were 42-point favourites for this one, with overwhelming advantages in every statistical category. And it went as expected. Four of Louisvilles eight first-half possessions began at midfield or in Panthers territory. The Cardinals converted three of those chances into a 17-0 lead. Bridgewater hit Parker for a 3-yard touchdown pass that was initially ruled incomplete. The call was reversed after a video review showed the receiver got his right foot down in the end zone while making his second acrobatic TD catch in as many weeks. John Wallace added a 26-yard field goal and Perry had a 26-yard run off left tackle to keep the roll going. It was just more of the same as the game wore on. Browns 77-yard run set up his 1-yard TD dive in the second quarter and Bridgewater completed four passes for 68 yards on another scoring drive, connecting with Parker for 6 yards for his third TD. Another nightmarish game for FIU continued into the third quarter, with Gaines returned the second-half kickoff for another touchdown. Louisville has 23 players from South Florida, including Bridgewater, so the Panthers were more than familiar with the Cardinals personnel. But they lacked the talent to keep up with Louisville, which led 38-0 at the break. "Nothing will surprise me with this team," Turner said of Louisville. "Theyre a great football team all the way around. There are no weak areas. Theyre very well coached, they play hard and they have exceptional athletes." Felipe Anderson Jersey . The team said Saturday that Lopez was hurt during its 121-120 overtime loss at Philadelphia on Friday. The Nets said they would issue another update next week after consultation with their doctors. Dani Alves Jersey . Scott Kazmir allowed four hits in seven shutout innings, Michael Brantley hit a two-run homer in a three-run first inning and the Indians maintained their hold on an AL wild-card spot with a 4-1 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday night. http://www.officialbrazilonline.com/world-cup-fred-football-jersey/ . The Cincinnati Reds remain perfect with their speedy rookie outfielder in the starting lineup.While the Canadiens have got off a to very respectable 5-3 start on the season, the next few weeks might prove to be their biggest challenge. Due to the fact the Habs training staff has been the busiest members of the club to start the year, the injury ward is a full house, and now its time for the kids to play a bigger role. The Canadiens started the season without Alexei Emelin, lost Douglas Murray and Davis Drewiske for extended periods during training camp, George Parros saw just over four minutes opening night, Max Pacioretty missed the second game of the year, returned and then suffered the hamstring injury in Winnipeg, Daniel Briere left with a concussion and Brandon Prust hurt his shoulder against Nashville.? Many of the injuries have been under unusual circumstances as well, which makes it all the more frustrating. Yet, the Canadiens have managed to battle on, thanks to some stellar goaltending from Carey Price and the youth movement emerging into bigger roles. Price has been the backbone of the teams success early this year, and is making a very strong case to be Team Canadas starter in Sochi. He has stopped 139 of the last 145 shots he has faced over four games with a save percentage of .959% including a shutout against the Jets. He has tweaked his game working with Stephane Waite, and now finds himself playing a more compact style. Hes consistently square to the shooter, swallowing up rebounds, and has stood up on high shots, swatting them away with his arm. Its clear that Price is on the top of his game and seems to be getting stronger as the games wear on. P.K. Subban leads all NHL defenseman in points, and is continuing to build on his Norris Trophy season from last year, also making it tough for Team Canada to ignore his play. His ice time has been increasing on special teams as well, which is a work in progress for the coaching staff. He is the NHL leader in ppower play ice time, averaging over five minutes a game. Miranda Brazil Jersey. Lars Eller leads the Habs in goals and is scoring on 25% of the shots he takes.? He has shown great chemistry with Alex Galchenyuk and Brendan Gallagher on his wings, as that line has been the most dangerous every night. Now with all the injuries, they will be relied on even more to carry the load. All part of the youth movement needing to play a bigger role. One player that is slowly gaining the confidence of Michel Therrien and in turn is getting more responsibility is Michael Bournival. He scored his first NHL goal at home this week against Columbus.? So far, the 21 year old has averaged 8:39 in time on ice, but has been around the 10 minute mark the last 3 games and has fired 11 shots on goal. His speed has been an asset, and it looks as though hell be promoted against the Oilers on a line with Tomas Plekanec and Brian Gionta. Patrick Holland is also set to make his NHL debut as he was recalled from Hamilton along with Michael Blunden to help fill the vacant forward spots.? Holland was acquired along with Rene Bourque as part of the trade with Calgary involving Michael Cammalleri in January 2012. The veteran forward line of Rene Bourque, David Desharnais and Travis Moen will also be expected to elevate their offensive output. The three have combined for just two goals and six points total in the opening eight games, with Bourque covering both goals and half the points. It wont an easy week either, with the Oilers visiting Montreal on Tuesday, looking to avenge a 4-1 loss in Edmonton. On Thursday, Teemu Selanne and Saku Koivu make their only visit to the Bell Centre this year with the Ducks, followed by the Sharks on Saturday night. The next few weeks for the Canadiens might provide a big test to see how much the youth of the team is ready to carry the load on their own.
