Malik Cunningham ruled out for second half of Louisville vs Clemson
Louisville will go through the second half of Saturday’s game against Clemson without its quarterback. Malik Cunningham has been ruled out for the remainder of the game, according to On3’s and Clemson Sports’ Matt Connolly.
Cunningham suffered a hand injury in the first half of Saturday’s matchup and the Cardinals decided he wouldn’t return. That means they’ll turn to backup Brock Domann under center for the remainder of the game.

Prior to his injury, Cunningham completed 10 of 13 passes for 75 yards while taking five carries for 20 yards on the ground as Louisville trailed Clemson 17-7 heading into halftime. His absence means Domann will make his sixth appearance of the season and his first since the Cardinals’ Oct. 29 game against Wake Forest.

“Yeah we’ll certainly turn our music up, turn our noise up when we’re working throughout practice,” Satterfield said. “And really it’s just the offense, the defense it’s normally quiet when they’re out there on the field.”
Aside from cranking up the music and blaring simulated crowd noise through the speakers at practice, the Cardinal’s offense will also be preparing for the worst-case scenario in Death Valley this Saturday, if they cannot hear the quarterback.
“And offensively we’ll do that, we’ll work some different ways of running our cadence, because sometimes the lineman can’t hear a cadence, and so they have to go silent cadence, so we’ll work on that as well and get used to that,” Satterfield said.
