LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) The 10th-ranked Louisville Cardinals insist they’re preparing for No. 2 Florida State like any other opponent. “We are looking forward to the matchup”.
That’s saying something considering Louisville’s offense averages a nation-leading 754 yards per game and ranks third in yards per play at 9.9. Although he’s gotten off to a bit of a slow start this season, Cook has a tendency to play his best in big games, and there won’t be many bigger games this year for the Seminoles than this one. Ward didn’t play last weekend because he had a sore shoulder, the Cougars were playing Lamar and the game was delayed 3 1/2 hours because of lightning. He’s well aware that the improvement and future of both Jackson and Louisville were directly tied to Jackson’s ability to run the offense from the pocket, not just outrunning defenders.
And quite a Saturday for college football fans.
His exploits have captured the attention of the college football world, but they’re nothing new for Cook, who lined up against Jackson during their days as prep football stars in South Florida. Whoever wins this game, will be in great position to win the ACC toward the end of the season. Louisville Overview What can you say about Lamar Jackson? If the Cardinals win this game, they could be a threat in their division. Louisville is also 4-0 ATS in their last four games in September, and 4-0 ATS in their last four games overall. 156 yards on 10 carries and a touchdown was the stat-line for Radcliff against the Orange. Circle these dates: Louisville travels to Clemson on October 1 and Florida State hosts the Tigers on October 29. According to OddsShark, Florida State is favored by one point. If he has a big game, the Cardinals could be celebrating long into the night.
Despite having the toughest remaining strength of schedule in FBS, Florida State has the best chance of Power 5 teams to finish undefeated.
Francois, in his first start for the Seminoles, had 478 yards of offence in guiding Florida State to its largest come-from-behind victory in a 45-34 triumph against No. 19 Mississippi.
Another Name to be Brought up – Deondre Francois.
The Buckeyes’ Malik Hooker picked off his third pass of the season against Tulsa, running it back 26 yards for a touchdown, and Marshon Lattimore took one back 40 yards.
At that point, the ACC championship will seem out of reach, but the Cardinals still have an important matchup against Clemson in two weeks.
Cook is a legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate and is one of the best backs in all of college football, along with Christian McCaffrey and Leonard Fournette. “Louisville did a great job developing him as a passer”.
I assume Jackson, who accounted for 610 yards of passing and running against SU, spends most nights dreaming of the 2018 NFL Draft. RB James Conner has rushed for an average of 84 yards with two touchdowns during his inspirational return from cancer. The Seminoles won both meetings. Louisville will only go as far as the sophomore Heisman hopeful can carry them.
“It’s fun to go out there and our guys take the field and expect to score”, Petrino said.
