The Louisville Cardinals made things interesting for three quarters last week, then they woke up. They scored 34 points in the fourth quarter to win 44-12 running away against Wake Forest.

The Cardinals trailed 12-10 entering the fourth quarter at home but they came roaring back in the final quarter. Running back Brandon Radcliff scored two rushing touchdowns on two straight drives to put the Cardinals up for good.

Radcliff ran the ball 11 times for 141 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Quarterback Lamar Jackson threw for 145 passing yards and a touchdown. He also ran for 153 yards. It was the second game of the season Jackson didn’t rush for a touchdown.

The Cardinals have won five games in a row since their loss to the Clemson Tigers. But they still trail in the Atlantic division lead due to that loss.

This Week: @Houston

The Louisville Cardinals cold strengthen their College Football Playoff resume this week depending on how you look at it. They lost last season to the Cougars 34-31 at home. The Cardinals should be on upset alert.
