Louisville Turns 14-0 Hole into 44-20 Rout of Florida State
Isaac Brown had 17 carries for 235 yards, and two of them covered 165 of those yards. A 97-yard touchdown run and a 68-yarder, and that is 70 percent of his night in two plays. Louisville ran for 401 yards as a team on 40 carries, which is 10 yards a pop.
The Seminoles started the way you want to start. Ashton Daniels ran in from seven yards, then threw 25 yards to Micahi Danzy, and it was 14-0 with 2:08 left in the first quarter. Then Brown's 97-yarder at 9:16 of the second made it 14-7, Marquise Davis scored from three yards at 3:21 to tie it at 14, and that was the last time Florida State was in front or even level. Lincoln Kienholz then ran in from three yards early in the third to put Louisville ahead.
Kienholz added another from a yard out at 8:06 for 28-14, and Braxton Jennings broke a 44-yard run early in the fourth for 35-14. Daniels got one back with a two-yard pass to Danzy (the two-point try failed, so 35-20), but Brown's 68-yard run came 53 seconds later for 41-20. A blocked extra point did not matter. Carson Hilbert added a 39-yard field goal with 2:59 left to make it 44-20, and that was the margin of 24.
Louisville outgained Florida State 541 yards to 362 and did not throw an interception, while the Seminoles threw one. Both teams sit at 3-3.
For fantasy purposes, Brown's 37.2 points were the top mark of the game and the best of his season. Daniels had 30.9 in a losing effort, which is just about his usual.
