With 1100 minutes left 45-28 Louisville on top.

Soon to be 48-28. ETA: Made the field goal.

Louisville set a school record in yards, the first play from scrimmage was a long TD bomb, 3&out, another long pass to setup a short touchdown. Next possession their QB kept and ran down the right sideline for 72 yards. This was the first 5 minutes.

I'm impressed though with Syracuse who played hard, they just had no answer for their QB.

Louisville and Houston will be a terrific matchup with Ward Jr and Lamar Jackson.

If you don’t already know the name Lamar Jackson, it’s time to get familiar with it.

Jackson, Louisville’s standout quarterback, burst onto the scene in 2015 as a true freshman and steadily improved as the season progressed. He has taken his game to a new level so far in 2016.

The sophomore played just a half in Louisville’s season-opening win over Charlotte, but he racked up 405 total yards (286 passing, 119 rushing) and eight (6 passing, 2 rushing) touchdowns in a 70-14 win. He picked up right where left off Friday night at Syracuse, totaling 483 yards (344 passing, 139 rushing) and five touchdowns (1 passing, 4 rushing) in the first half alone.

By the time the dust had settled and the Cardinals pulled out the 62-28 win, Jackson (who sat out the final seven minutes of the game) finished with 411 yards passing and 199 yards on the ground — a total of 610 yards, an ACC record. He became the second player in FBS history with 400 passing yards and 150 rushing yards in a game and was just a single rushing yard away from becoming the only player in FBS history to pass for 400 yards and rush for 200 yards in a game.
