SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Louisville leading rusher Senorise Perry hurt his leg on the opening series against Syracuse and is out for the remainder of the game.

Perry went into the contest leading the team with 703 yards rushing and 11 touchdowns on the ground. The Cardinals use a two-back system with Jeremy Wright, who has 651 yards and nine touchdown runs. The bulk of the rushing load will now go to Wright and Corvin Lamb -- who showed just how explosive he is on a 53-yard touchdown catch off a screen pass late in the first quarter.

Lamb came into the game with two total carries for minus-1 yards.
