Brooks, Holloway come up big in second half to help No. 19 Louisville outlast Georgia Tech 31-19

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- , What pleased Louisville most about a hard-fought victory over Georgia Tech was the collective effort that made it possible. Not to mention, the No. 19 Cardinals' great timing. Ja’Corey Brooks’ 57-yard touchdown reception provided the go-ahead score late in the third quarter, Tayon Holloway followed by blocking a field goal and returning it 45 yards for an insurance TD and No. 19 Louisville scored from all phases to beat Georgia Tech 31-19 on Saturday. The Cardinals (3-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) used defense and offense to lead 17-7 in the second quarter before the Yellow Jackets rallied to tie the game at 17 late in the third. Louisville eventually went ahead on Tyler Shough’s deep pass to Brooks down the right sideline that Brooks hauled in on the run even as a Tech defender was called for pass interference.
