Cincinnati held the Cardinals to 21 points below their scoring average and had a chance for an upset in the final seconds.
Dustin Grutza threw for 129 yards and two scores and ran for 75 more, most of them coming on a frantic drive in the final two minutes. He led the Cincinnati to the Louisville 22 with 9 seconds left.
But Grutza's fourth-down pass to Earnest Jackson was broken up by Smart in the end zone as the Cardinals remained perfect.
"We had four chances to throw the ball in the end zone, you have to make the play," Cincinnati coach Mark Dantonio said.
