Moss Leads Louisville to Upset

For redshirt senior quarterback Miller Moss, last Friday night is one he will remember the rest of his life. The Palisadian threw two touchdowns to receiver Chris Bell and ran for another score to lead Louisville to a 24-21 upset of No. 2-ranked Miami in a nationally-televised game in Florida.

Moss transferred to Louisville in December following four years at USC and he is flourishing in the multi-faceted pro-style attack under head coach Jeff Brohm. He completed 23 of 37 passes for 248 yards and no interceptions as the Cardinals pulled off their first win against an AP Top 2 team since 2016. The victory propelled Louisville (5-1) into the weekly Top 25—No. 19 in the AP poll and No. 22 in the Coaches Poll.

In Louisville’s first six games Moss has a 138.7 passer rating, a completion percentage of 66.2 and has thrown for 1,606 yards with nine touchdowns and four interceptions. He  has also run for four touchdowns. The Cardinals host Boston College on Saturday.

Moss, whose childhood home  in the Via Bluffs burned down inthe Palisades Fire, was proud to host a Fire Relief Youth Camp at Beverly Hills High in July. He won an NFL Punt, Pass and Kick competition in 2010, led his AAU team to the California 14U Super Bowl as an 8th-grader at St. Matthew’s and quarterbacked Loyola and Alemany in high school. His first start at USC came in the 2024 Holiday Bowl when he threw six TD passes to earn MVP honors.
