We take a look at the midseason report card grades for the Louisville football team through the first six games of the year.

What a fun year that this has been so far for the Louisville football program and their fans as the Cardinals are currently 5-1 and the seventh ranked team in the country. Other than a close loss to Clemson, the Cardinals have been playing lights out against every single opponent that they have lined up against in 2016.

To top it all off, sophomore quarterback Lamar Jackson is far ahead of everyone else in the Heisman race. It doesn’t look like anyone will catch him, as he has been on another planet playing football this season. He is going to break every quarterback record at the University of Louisville and he still has another year left.

Watching Lamar Jackson do his thing has been nothing short of amazing.

The Cardinals now turn their focus towards playing undefeated football for the rest of the 2016 season. That goal starts against the NC State Wolfpack this Saturday in Papa Johns Cardinal Stadium.

The Wolfpack narrowly lost to Clemson last weekend in overtime, but that was after their kicker missed the game-winning field as time expired in regulation. It was a crushing blow to NC State and maybe even more for the Cards’ ACC title chances.
