Each different college football bowl game has its own advantages.

Louisville, after defeating Toledo 27-22 in the Boca Raton Bowl at FAU Stadium on Tuesday, was able to enjoy a huge plate of baked beans on the field.

Actor and comedian Keegan-Michael Key was on the field stirring the bowl, preparing it for the Louisville players. Louisville defensive lineman Clev Lubin walked up and asked if the baked beans were his, and upon confirmation, he pounced.

Lubin took out his mouthguard and began to enjoy the food in the field. Finally, his teammates did too while interviewing head coach Jeff Brohm.

Louisville had good reason to celebrate, as they staved off a Toledo comeback to hold on for the win. The Cardinals took a 14-3 lead into the fourth quarter, but the action was far from over.

It looked like Louisville would pull out the win, as they opened the fourth quarter with another touchdown to go up 21-3, but Toledo rallied. Toledo scored a touchdown on the next drive, forced a punt and then kicked a field goal to cut it to 21-14.

Louisville responded. Running back Isaac Brown scored a 53-yard touchdown to make the score 27-14, but Toledo blocked the extra point and returned it for two points, cutting the score to 27-16. Toledo then scored another touchdown to cut the score to 27-22, after they failed to convert the two-point conversion.

Toledo’s final touchdown came with about two and a half minutes left in the game, and Louisville slammed the door on a fourth-quarter comeback as they ran out of time to win the game.

“Proud of our team,” Brohm said. “We finished strong. We didn’t play perfect, but we played hard, we played hard, we played until the end.”
