3. Turnovers

You would think that the Cardinals would learn from their mistakes over the course of the season, but they just keep getting worse. Not to mention, they keep happening in important situations every week.

Lamar Jackson threw three interceptions and fumbled the ball away in the closing minutes, which gave Kentucky the ball on the drive that won the game. I don’t care if Jackson is Peyton Manning, there is no excuse for him to be turning over the football.

We talked all week about how the offense has to protect the football, however that was apparently the furthest thing from their minds against Kentucky.

Whoever they face in their bowl game might as well go ahead and just wait for Louisville to hand them the ball.
