Louisville’s offense is more than just Lamar Jackson. Brandon Ratcliff is the most explosive running back no one is talking about. Senior TE Cole Hikutini won the John Mackey Tight End of the Week award for his efforts against Marshall. James Quick has shown himself more than capable of torching opposing secondaries. The offensive line is experience across the board. Jackson is the highlight of the team, and thus far the season, but there are more than enough complementary pieces to win the game.
Bobby Petrino has never considered himself a spread coach. Most of the time there will be three wide receivers, a tight end and a running back on the field.
