DOWN: James Quick

I honestly didn’t think that things could get even worse for James Quick, but apparently I was wrong. Quick managed to drop two, if not officially three passes in the first half for Louisville. Lamar Jackson and Quick just couldn’t get on the same page in Virginia and it has become a little bit concerning.

Against a team who is terrible against the pass, the senior wide receiver didn’t register one reception against the Cavaliers. This was supposed to be a bounce-back game for Quick, but it was the furthest thing from that.

There are so many talented receivers on this roster and Quick is fading fast. He was on pace to have one of the best seasons of a Louisville Cardinal receiver in a long time. However, that may be a far memory by now.

Let’s see how Quick performs against Boston College before we go into full panic mode. However, with that being said, we aren’t too far from that situation.

Next: Jaylen Smith
