Cardinals want to keep it.The Cardinals (6-1, 4-1 ACC) visit Virginia (2-5, 1-2)
on Saturday looking to build on their 54-13 rout of North Carolina State that
moved Louisville up two spots in the Top 25. Coach Bobby Petrino was pleased
with how thorough his team was on offense, defense and special teams -- all of
which were motivated by talk about how physical the Wolfpack were.It was maybe
our best performance of the year, the coach said Monday.While Louisvilles poll
position improved, Petrino shrugged off the idea that lopsided victories might
be necessary to grab the playoff committees attention with the first rankings
due out next week. As long as the Cardinals keep winning, the coach believes the
rest will fall into place.Cardinals quarterback Lamar Jackson meanwhile seems to
be putting more things into his impressive repertoire.The Heisman Trophy
front-runner has 34 touchdowns after rushing for a 36-yard score and passing for
three others with precision that impressed Petrino and his teammates. Jacksons
best TD pass might have been his 74-yarder to Jaylen Smith in stride down the
middle, though a strong case has been made for his 16-yard scoring pass to
Jamari Staples threaded through several defenders.I thought it was coming to me
at first and I look over and Jamari caught it, said tight end Cole Hikutini, who
later caught a 3-yard TD pass from Jackson. Its ridiculous how accurate he is
and how much hes improved his accuracy and his confidence in the past
year.Blanton Creque restored consistency to the Cardinals kicking game after
setting a single-game school scoring record for a kicker with 18 points,
including four field goals between 24 and 37 yards. Louisvilles defense had one
of its best efforts this season in holding N.C. State to just 250 yards and
making three interceptions leading to 17 points. The Wolfpack trailed 44-0
before scoring two third-quarter TDs that seemed to fire up the Cardinals
defense even more.We come with a mindset and objective to get goose eggs, said
linebacker Jonathan Greenard, who grabbed his first career pickoff in the win.
Toward the end of the game we got sort of complacent, so after they scored those
two touchdowns we just had to put the foot on the gas and end it.Louisville now
prepares for Virginia with hopes of starting quick again and pouring it on,
which would be an change from its previous visit to Charlottesville two years
ago.Petrino was just in his third game of his second stint as Cardinals coach
then and trying to sort out a muddled quarterback situation. Will Gardner and
Reggie Bonnafon both had uneven performances in a 23-21 loss that seems so long
ago for many reasons.Louisville returns more formidable this time with a
Heisman-contending QB and playoff aspirations. The Cardinals are favored by 28
points but promise not to look past the Cavaliers, who have lost two in a row
under first-year coach Bronco Mendenhall.Weve just got to come back, work hard
and challenge their maturity, Petrino said. I think our guys are hungry; we just
need to stay hungry.---Online:The APs college football page:
