PRESS BOX: Louisville DE injured in hit-and-run
Louisville defensive end Lorenzo Mauldin was listed in satisfactory condition in Jewish Hospital after he was injured in a hit-and-run accident on a moped Tuesday morning .
According to witnesses at the scene, Mauldin's moped was struck around 8:45 a.m. on campus by an unidentified vehicle that left the scene, the Louisville Courier-Journal reported. The suspect has yet to be found by police.
Mauldin is listed as a starting defensive end for Saturday's season opener against Ohio University. There was no immediate word on his status for the game. Last season, Mauldin started six games and led the Cardinals in sacks with 4.5.
--- Andrew Maxwell fought off his challengers and will begin the season as Michigan State's starting quarterback on Friday night against Western Michigan.
Sophomore Connor Cook will also get some reps. Redshirt freshman Tyler O'Connor remains "in the mix" and freshman Damion Terry's chances of seeing the field appear to be slim. The four battled throughout camp to win the starting job and there is still a possibility all of them could get a shot in the first few weeks of the season.
Maxwell struggled while starting all 13 games last season. He completed 52.5 percent of his passes with 13 touchdowns and nine interceptions.
