Five Things To Know On How Houston Shuts Lamar Jackson And Louisville's Playoff Dreams Read below the five things you should know about Houston’s win over Louisville.
The Hope To Advance To The College Football Playoff Is Dead For Louisville The recent lost match ends the Cardinals' hopes for a college football playoff chance. Louisville won't play for the ACC title after getting defeated by Clemson; with two losses, in addition, the Cardinals would be needing help from other teams just to be even considered for the playoff. The rankings of Cardinals will most likely drop in the coming week.
The Strangest Resumes Are With Houston Houston has become the first team in the country to win over two top-five teams on the season. Also, Tom Herman got his second big game of the season, although his Cougars have got two unsatisfactory losses in conference play to SMU and Navy.
The Race For Heisman Trophy May Not Be Over Yet This calls for chaos at the top of the rankings. In addition, it opens door for discussions about the Heisman race that was apparently over about a week ago. Jackson was 20-of-43 passing for 211 yards and one touchdown, and his rushing numbers, skewed by the sack total, were a trivial 33 yards on 25 carries.
The Awful Offensive Line Of Louisville The raucous offensive line that was delivered by Louisville got everyone talking. However, it was demolished by the defensive line of Houston which had some mature men on it. Jackson gave no time to look downfield, that's a problem when you are trying to score a 31-point comeback. At a lot of times it looked like a screen pass on regular pass plays as there were three Houston defenders converging on Jackson two seconds after the snap. The 11 sacks that were allowed were quite bad. The 2.5 yards per carry Louisville had were not well too. In addition,
the incapability to make adjustments at all during the game to refute the Houston pressure and front was just too bad. To sum it all, it was just a bad night for the up-front boys of cardinals
Oliver Also Known As A Monster The offensive line of Louisville was real bad, but why they looked that bad is also because they were dealing with No. 10. Oliver who went out in the fourth quarter bearing a knee injury still had an impact on the game. The player’s blend of speed and strength is amazing, especially for a true freshman. As long as he can stay healthy, he is going to be an All-American for three years before moving on to give NFL offensive linemen nightmares. Enjoy him, Houston. He's a special one. www.researchomatic.com/Football-Injuries-137428.html
