He ran rampant over Florida State&#8217;s defense racking up 146 yards on 17 carries. Jackson&#8217;s lone blemish was an interception in the end zone after the game was well out of hand.<\/p>\n<p>Louisville came out of the gates quickly, jumping out to a 14-0 lead. Florida State answered with 10 straight points of its own. However, the Seminoles never got closer than being down 14-10. Louisville answered with a nine play, 79-yard touchdown drive. Florida State would give the ball right back to Louisville on a botched exchange between Francois and Cook. The Cardinals scored on a 23-yard drive that ended with Jackson&#8217;s lone touchdown pass. After another Florida State punt, Louisville added a fifth first half touchdown drive in 58 seconds to go into halftime with a 35-10 lead.<\/p>\n<p>Any hopes of a miraculous comeback ended following Florida State&#8217;s opening drive of the second half. The Seminoles were forced to punt after three plays, and\u00a0<strong>Jabri Alexander\u00a0<\/strong>returned that punt 69 yards for a score. Louisville continued to light up the scoreboard from that point adding three more rushing touchdowns before time ran out.<\/p>\n<p>Louisville has now scored 60 or more points in all three of its games this year. The 63-point outing was also the most ever given up by a Florida State defense.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/607314044\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 68.013468% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/607314044?et=MWrvKrMOT8lm24CzqXpCKg&amp;viewMoreLink=off&amp;sig=lVpXSOrivT_yVcb0FKoqSx2bKI63fXSoYsImqoNPyUc=&amp;caption=true\" width=\"594\" height=\"404\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jackson&#8217;s Five Touchdowns Leads the Cardinals Past the Seminoles Lamar Jackson ran for four touchdowns and added another through the air in 10th\u00a0ranked\u00a0Louisville&#8217;s (3-0, 2-0)\u00a063-20 blow out defeat of second\u00a0ranked\u00a0Florida State (2-1, 0-1)\u00a0on\u00a0Saturday.
