Louisville Football: 5 takeaways from the Cards’ win over Boston College
By Derek Snyder
We give a look towards our five different takeaways from Louisville football’s huge win over Boston College on Saturday.
Man, did every Louisville football fan need that kind of win against Boston College or what? It was easily one of the best games that entire team has played all season, which bolds very well for the new College Football Playoff rankings on Tuesday night.
It was going to be interesting to see how the Cards would respond after a close win against Virginia and falling to seventh in the playoff poll. However, that let-down against Virginia is now the furthest thing from everyone’s minds at the Cardinals just tore apart a top-ranked defense.
Lamar Jackson had another seven touchdowns in this win over the Eagles on the road. He looked more comfortable than he did last week, but that has a lot to do with the offensive line’s play. They gave Jackson enough protection, which gave him time to run and throw the football.
There were many players who came out and dominated Boston College, but probably none more than Lamar Jackson, James Quick, and Jaylen Smith. These three guys showed up big-time for the Cards in a must-win game, even if the Eagles were only 4-4.
In a week where the Cardinals needed to blow out their opponent, they succeeded abundantly.
