Louisville: Protect the Heisman Trophy winner. Lamar Jackson was sacked 35 times over the final eight games. Nineteen sacks came in the Cards’ three losses. With former D-line assistant coach Ed Orgeron whipping up the frenzied Tigers defense, Jackson might find it in his best interest to skip the bowl game too if his protection doesn’t improve.
 
Sacks were do to poor adjustments. When you know the line can't protect and you still keep Lamar in the pocket on 5 and 7 step drops is stupid. They need to roll him out and look for quick hitters to slow the rush. Also need to go to the screen game and quick passes. The coaching tricked off what could have been a great season. Hopefully they have learned how to make offensive adjustments.

Lamar has to do a better job of getting rid of it early too. I think about half of those sacks were due to Lamar holding on to the ball to long.
