Lewis Bond received two of Thomas Castellanos' three touchdown throws for the Eagles (1-3, 0-2), who logged only 43 of their 427 offensive yards in the first quarter.

Castellanos was 17-of-33 for 265 yards passing, while rushing for 49 yards on 10 carries and another score. Emmett Morehead entered during the fourth.

Ryan O'Keefe caught five passes for 86 yards and a touchdown, eclipsing 200 career receptions between UCF and Boston College.

Two plays after a costly Boston College penalty extended Louisville's first offensive series, Jordan broke for a 33-yard touchdown to put the Cardinals ahead with 9:47 left in the first.

On their next possession, after Plummer found Kevin Coleman for a 32-yard strike and then fed Jordan for five straight rushes, Nate Kurisky caught a 1-yard play-action pass for the hosts' second score.

Plummer hit Huggins-Bruce on a 45-yard pass, capping the Cardinals' third scoring drive in five plays.

Plummer rushed to the front pylon for a 9-yard score with 8:43 left in the second.

Scrambling on fourth-and-9, Castellanos found O'Keefe from 30 yards out for the Eagles' second straight score.

Louisville again responded in the waning seconds of the half, using Jordan's 42-yard trick-play run to set up a 42-yard Plummer-to-Jamari Thrash connection.
