No. 2 Florida State at No. 10 Louisville, 11:00 am CT

It’s the matchup that finally brought College Gameday to Louisville!

Lamar Jackson has been electric for the Cardinals, generating plenty of Heisman buzz early in the season. He’s already accounted for 1,015 yards of total offense and 13 total touchdowns and he’s yet to play four quarters in a game. And he’s overcome some bad drops by his receivers that would have pushed his statline even higher.

But Florida State presents the first major challenge to Jackson this season. They have a tough defensive front that is going to get after the Louisville quarterback. Their goal will be to hit him early and often to make him uncomfortable and force some mistakes. Offensively, the Seminoles are still one of the best in the ACC with freshman QB Deandre Francois and super RB Dalvin Cook.

Last season, Jackson had a huge game against the Seminoles, completing 20 of 35 passes for 307 yards and three touchdowns. But he rushed for only 32 yards and the Cardinals lost by 20. Will “Action” Jackson be enough to pull off the upset at home this time?
