No. 10 Louisville honors Ali during game vs. Florida State
Francois completed 33 of 52 passes for 419 yards and two touchdowns, while leading Florida State to the largest comeback in school history in his only start versus a top 25 foe.
As they were actually inside Papa John's Stadium when they made the picks, the home crowd went insane. Louisville torched Florida State in all aspects of the game, making big plays on defense and special teams too. Safety Derwin James is out for an extended period after having surgery to fix a torn meniscus. That's not the defender you want to lose against someone like Lamar Jackson, who ranks third nationally in rushing yards per game, ninth in passing yards per game, and averages 10.17 yards every time he touches the ball. The game is also airing as a live stream online.
The Cardinals offense has been one of the most dynamic in the country through two games, as Jackson has leapt into Heisman contention with a series of performances impressive on both the stat sheets and on the highlight film.
Florida State hasn't proven itself to be a great defense through two games, either, but the Seminoles are going to be a whole lot better than what Louisville has faced so far.
The Tar Heels are the heavy favorite is this game but they need to be careful. "They've got a ring on their finger", Petrino said of the 'Noles. He is No. 8 in the country in passing yards and No. 3 in rushing yards.
"I did good, I guess, but I still have room for improvement", Jackson said. The dual-threat quarterback has done most of his damage from the pocket, but I expect him to use his legs more against the Cardinals.
Jackson is a Floridian - he was committed to Florida before switching to Louisville and actually staged quite the showdown with current Seminole tailback Dalvin Cook in high school. Cook will be expected to carry even more of the load this week - both on the field and from a leadership standpoint - with James out. Last season, the Seminoles shut down Houston, holding him to 32 yards on 17 carries. He had a first 100-yard receiving game. Currently, the Tide have allowed just one touchdown and scored two.
Cook piled up 223 yards total (163 rushing, 60 receiving) and also scored twice against the Cardinals past year.
According to ESPN, Louisville is the second team to ever score over 60 points in each of its first three games, joining 2013 Baylor. Though Louisville won handily, the Orange attack was stopped four times by injuries to Louisville players, which came when Syracuse was driving and elicited choruses of boos from the hometown fans who figured a dose of fakery was involved.
"It was a tough loss", said Orange wideout Amba Etta-Tawo, who has 20 catches for 313 yards in two games. With them returning, the Seminoles surely are hoping they can limit the penalties compared to the last two games and improve protection for QB Deondre Francios.
Today's FSU Florida State Seminoles vs Louisville Cardinals college football game has a start time schedule of 12:00 EST and will air on TV channel ABC. Past year the Cardinals led 7-6 at the half before the 'Noles took over and romped to a 41-21 victory.
