Florida State started off the contest hot, forcing the Cardinals to punt away their first possession. What seemed like a great start for the Seminoles turned out to be, in fact, the opposite. Louisville’s punt rolled to the FSU 1 and forced the Seminoles to start the game in familiar territory...with horrible field position. Louisville quickly forced a 3-and-out, and FSU punter Logan Tyler had an abysmal 30-yard punt. The Cardinals scored just four plays later when Louisville quarterback Jawon Pass rushed for a 14-yard touchdown. Pass had just eight yards rushing entering the game.
