Final.

Lamar Jackson, in a "decent" game, goes 30/46 for 378 yards and runs for another 107.

 

Penalties were a killer and key turnovers kept this thing way closer than it should have been. Two fumbles on the goal line nearly did me in.

Well, it's better to come out on the winning end in an ugly game.

 

Can't fumble on the goaline TWICE and cover a 25 point spread.

Does anyone know the NCAA record for false start penalties? I counted nine on the Cards. Four on the tight ends alone.

 

Lots of room to improve. Here's hoping they do; it ain't getting any easier the next two weeks.

With sixteen penalties and three turnovers with two at the one yardline, I will absolutely take it.

 

The amount of false starts is disgusting and absolutely unacceptable, even though Purdue was causing them to move. That junk has carried over from last year and cannot continue.

 

Hats off to Jeff Brohm and Purdue. That dude can coach and they outplayed Louisville tonight.

 

Louisville will lose the next two weeks if they play that bad.

Future UofL coach almost defeats the current one, lol.

 

Will definitely take the win but good Lord I hope the rest of the season goes better!!

My hope is that some of the false start stuff can be traced to having a freshman center and will work out a bit as they get things settled in.

 

That's my hope anyway.

 

But yeah, same nonsense as last year.

Dez Fitzpatrick is going to be a problem in the future. That kid can play.

Good News: Lamar is back to being first half of last year Lamar.

Bad News: Louisville isn't.

Oline play (meaning protection) looked to be better. The false starts, I honestly don't know what the issue is there, but it has to be fixed.

 

Cards played pretty bad and probably should have lost, but didn't. It's not as bad as you guys want it to be.

I thought the ejection was a bad call. Definitley roughing, but it didn't look like helmet to helmet from my vantage point.

65% completion rate for Lamar is definitley an improvement. Still had a few drops too.

Things have got to improve quickly as a team. If not it may be a long season. Didn't think it would be challenging to escape Indianapolis with a win over Purdue.

I didnt either, but punch in the two scores where we fumbled in the first half and this is never a game.

Cards gave up zero sacks, first time since last years opener.
