Jackson, No. 10 Louisville run over No. 2 Florida St 63-20
A very big role worthy of all the adulation. It had a potential breakout star quarterback, an experienced offense around him and a talented defense, making the Cardinals appear to be a team on the rise.
What was billed as an ACC showdown quickly turned into a rout.

Many have compared Jackson’s historic start to the season to when Michael Vick played college football. “We felt like we had weathered it”. “I don’t really look at that”. “He was able to focus and concentrate”.

The Seminoles fell to 2-1. The Seminoles slid 10 spots to No. 13.
Louisville dominated Florida State from start to finish Saturday, and Petrino had a slew of heroes on his team.
