2. Beating Florida State With College Gameday In Town

If the Cardinals wanted to prove that they were for real, then they had to beat the Florida State Seminoles in Papa Johns Cardinal Stadium last September. College Gameday finally made it’s first appearance in Louisville and the Cards put on a offensive clinic for the entire country to see.

Louisville ended up beating the Seminoles 63-20 and that was one of FSU’s worst losses in school history. It was clear that Lamar Jackson was the Heisman front-runner and that these Cards had a legit chance of winning the ACC in 2016.

Unfortunately, they weren’t able to beat Clemson, but they sure gave the Tigers one heck of a fight.

I’m sure the Seminoles can’t wait to get Lamar Jackson in their own stadium in 2017. Be careful what you wish for FSU fans.
