In my app, a user has many score_cards and a score_card belongs to a user

The question is, whenever I create a new score_card, ie, ScoreCardsController.create gets called, how do I add this newly created score_card to the current_user (I'm using devise, so current_user is a valid User object).

current_user.score_cards << score_card

OR

score_card.user = current_user
score_card.save
