Go Cards!

 

[William-McDermott]

Louisville won the toss and has deferred to the second half. SMU will receive

 

[William-McDermott]

Mack got beat deep, Jennings slipped and a pretty obvious PI on Jabari, SMU threatening on drive No. 1

Don't know about the second one....

 

[William-McDermott]

Touchdown SMU

Jennings does it with his legs this time. 9 play, 75-yard drive.

7-0 Mustangs, 1 Q

 

[Javamac]

That was too easy.

 

[William-McDermott]

Deuce Adams' running ability has already changed the Louisville offense. Keeping SMU on its toes early, mixing in his legs and some of the option game.

 

[William-McDermott]

Cards have to burn a TO on 3rd down...issue getting the playcall in

 

[fyrfytr71]

Would've been a great season if our RBs could have actually played consistently. Brutal

 

[William-McDermott]

I really like Braxton Jennings

 

[PushupMan]

That was too easy.

Second PI was very questionable. If that’s called as a PI consistently, this Louisville offense would be stopped only one out of every 10 times.

 

[William-McDermott]

Louisville has to settle for a 36-yard Ranvier FG

Nice first drive for Adams, 4-5 21 yds

Cards averaged 6 yards a carry

7-3 SMU, 1Q

 

[Javamac]

Deuce did all right. Defense is going to have to make some plays.

 

[SpotHogCard]

Lets go D.. Need a 3 & out here.

 

[William-McDermott]

Have to bring Jennings down on first contact

 

[PushupMan]

Lubin learned that “flop” trick from Clemson.

 

[William-McDermott]

Have to bring Jennings down on first contact

The unsportsmanlike conduct forces SMU to punt, Cards football at their own 12

 

[PushupMan]

Jennings has a little hitch in his giddy-up after that long run and botched slide. Something to keep an eye on.

 

[William-McDermott]

Lubin learned that “flop” trick from Clemson.

The classic mouthguard pull

 

[William-McDermott]

End of the 1Q

7-3 SMU

 

[Cardinal_Cash]

Need to get some quick hitters for Deuce. Receivers aren’t getting open on the slow stuff.

 

[CARDOMYTE]

It’s a little thing that could mean a great deal…. The players body language shows rallying around DA, encouraging, and communicating. We haven’t always had that with Moss. That’s encouraging.

 

[Cardiac Red]

Deuce won't finish this game if he keeps taking those big hits..

 

[William-McDermott]

False start on 3rd down, Louisville will punt

 

[Cardiac Red]

SMU tackles well..

 

[SpotHogCard]

Why are they letting SMU have the edge every time? Angles are bad and they are always caught flat-footed looking inside.

 

[Javamac]

Damn side pass .

 

[SpotHogCard]

Edge every time... WHY? It's the same dang play!

 

[William-McDermott]

Another methodical drive by SMU and the Mustangs are starting to establish the line of scrimmage. They have dominated Louisville's front 7 so far. 81 rushing yards, 5.4 yards a carry.

14-3 SMU, 2Q

 

[SpotHogCard]

I smell a QB run, same place as last time.

 

[SpotHogCard]

All on the right side. English needs to fix that stuff.

 

[Cardinal_Cash]

Jabari Mack is terrible

 

[William-McDermott]

Tough game for Jabari Mack so far...Hudson beat him there for the TD

 

[FernCreekCard]

Never seen a team go downhill so fast

 

[gamedaynut]

That is our defense they are beating like a red headed step child.
