Louisville Cardinals football statistical leaders
The Louisville Cardinals football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Louisville Cardinals football program in various categories,[1] including passing, rushing, receiving, total offense, defensive stats, and kicking. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Cardinals represent the University of Louisville in the NCAA's Atlantic Coast Conference.
Louisville began competing in intercollegiate football in 1912.[1] However, these lists are dominated by more recent players for several reasons:
- Since the 11940s, seasons have increased from 10 games to 11 and then 12 games in length.
- The NCAA didn't allow freshmen to play varsity football until 1972 (with the exception of the World War II years), allowing players to have four-year careers.
- Bowl games only began counting toward single-season and career statistics in 2002.[2] The Cardinals have played in 11 bowl games since then, giving many recent players an extra game to accumulate statistics.
These lists are updated through to Game 2 of the 2016 season.
