Louisville football has come out playing great against the Wolfpack, therefore we take a look at the first half grades for the Cardinals.

It has been an exciting first half of football so far between the Louisville football team and the NC State Wolfpack. Lamar Jackson got the Cardinals out to a fast start, as he scored a 30-plus yard rushing touchdown on the team’s first drive. Too be honest, the Cards haven’t slowed down much since.

This was going to be an important game for both teams in the ACC standings since Louisville and NC State were neck and neck. However, after one half of football between the two schools. it seems very unlikely that these two teams are very close to each other in any aspect of the game.

With that being said, this is why you play all four quarters of the game of football. The teams that can make the best second half adjustments usually come out on top. However, even if the Wolfpack do that, I don’t think they will be able to get the victory today against the Cards.

Lamar Jackson is playing well, the defense is playing well, and Louisville’s kicking game has been on point. Maybe I’m dreaming, but the Cards are playing great football today.
