LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Louisville starting quarterback Jawon Pass was benched before Saturday's game against North Carolina State for "missing a team obligation," it was announced before the game.

Pass was suspended for the first quarter, according to a school statement, but he didn't play in the second quarter either. He entered the game with 11:03 left in the third quarter.

Louisville was trailing 17-3 at halftime.

Redshirt freshman Malik Cunningham made his second start of the season at quarterback for Louisville. Pass, a sophomore, came into the game having completed 54.3 percent of his passes for 1,893 yards and eight touchdowns.
