Louisville snaps Pitt's win streak

The Cardinals dealt the Panthers their fifth loss and became bowl-eligible.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Michael Bush rushed for 115 yards and two touchdowns and Art Carmody tied a school record with four field goals, as No. 24 Louisville survived a wild start and beat Pittsburgh, 42-20 Thursday night.
Louisville (6-2, 2-2 Big East Conference) has won two straight after losing its first two league games and temporarily falling out of the top 25. The Cardinals became bowl-eligible with the win in front of a record crowd of 42,692 at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium.
Pitt (4-5, 3-2) had a three-game winning streak snapped. The Panthers must win their final two games, against Connecticut and No. 18 West Virginia, if they are to extend their streak of consecutive bowl appearances to six.
Bush ties record
Bush's second score, a 3-yard run in the third quarter, was his 20th rushing touchdown of the season, tying the school record set by Lenny Lyles in 1957 and matched by Eric Shelton last season.
Bush left the game after that with a sprained left foot.
Bush also caught four passes for 59 yards.
Carmody kicked field goals of 46, 47, 32 and 36 yards, matching the school single-game record set by Nate Smith against Houston in 2000. The 46-yarder was a career-best, but Carmody kicked a 47-yarder minutes later.
Louisville trailed in the final minute of the first half before Carmody's 47-yarder, which put the Cardinals up 22-20 at the break. Louisville scored on its first three second-half possessions, with Bush's second touchdown and Carmody's 32- and 36-yard field goals, and led 35-20 entering the fourth quarter.
Pitt reached the Louisville 22 early in the fourth quarter before penalties set the Panthers back and forced a punt.
Louisville took over with 9:44 remaining and ran more than nine minutes off the clock before Kolby Smith capped a 16-play, 80-yard drive with a 4-yard touchdown run.
Brian Brohm completed 21-of-31 passes for 247 yards for Louisville, which finished with 467 yards of offense.
Pitt finished with 260 yards of offense.
The game started in wild fashion as the teams traded touchdowns in the first 25 seconds, each scoring on a kickoff. Pitt's Terrell Allen had the opening kickoff sail through his hands, and Louisville's Deon Palmer recovered the football in the end zone.
Allen quickly made amends, returning the ensuing kick 97 yards for a score.
