He did, however, score a one-yard rushing touchdown in Louisville's 42–14 win over UTEP.

[3] Quarterman also started all 12 games in 2004, and once again he rushed for a one-yard touchdown during the season. This time he scored in Louisville's 56–5 win over Rutgers, giving the 6-foot-5, 341-pound senior lineman his third career score. [4] Quarterman helped the Cardinals' running game average more than 250 yards-per-game. [5]
