A. . . . LOUISVILLE OFFENSE

Lamar Jackson has put the Louisville football team on a completely different level this season. They have been able to effectively run and pass the football on every team that they have faced this season. It has been great to see so many different Cardinals catching the football and making plays downfield. This has been key to keeping defenses on their heels.

The Cardinals currently have the best scoring offense in the ACC by far. Louisville is averaging an amazing 52.3 points per game this season, whereas the closest team in Pittsburgh is only averaging 38.4. No wonder it has been so difficult for teams to even come close to beating the Cards.

The even more impressive stat line is that the Cardinals are averaging 627.5 total offensive yards per game. That is crazy. To put that into perspective, Florida State is second in the ACC with 484.7 yards per game.

Next: Louisville's Defense

Louisville has been on an offensive frenzy this season and it’s all thanks to the marvelous Lamar Jackson.
