Jackson looks dialed in. Took what was available to him, then made plays only he can make.

 

[KerryRhodes]

Only chance UofL has is if they left Sirmon in Louisville.

 

[PHCARD]

Now "D" show us some heart

 

[Ipartiedwithhopgood]

We're going to need a bend don't break performance out of the D - they just haven't stopped anybody lately.

Yep. Hold potential TD drives to field goal attempts.

 

[Ipartiedwithhopgood]

Wow that dude was so open...

 

[Steelers2012]

COM-PLETELY uncovered.

 

[GOCARDS6]

well at least the defense doesn't surprise us anymore.....

 

[KerryRhodes]

Guess they brought this fool.

Defense is swiss cheese

 

[Steelers2012]

COM-PLETELY uncovered.

Again. No one covering this guy. Nobody.

 

[Ipartiedwithhopgood]

They got off the field without giving up points - I'll take it!

 

[Smithereen]

Only way they don't score every time is if FSU stops themselves

 

[Steelers2012]

Ah...nice to see an oposing punter take the field.

 

[Ipartiedwithhopgood]

Again. No one covering this guy. Nobody.

Maybe that guy doesn't shower.

 

[Smithereen]

We finally ran the ball two times in a row

 

[Steelers2012]

Take the FG points when available! Scoring on every series is critical.

 

[Smithereen]

Unbelievable defense, no pressure, no blitzing on a frosh QB!

 

[Smithereen]

Finally a line stunt

 

[Ipartiedwithhopgood]

Got the sack that time and a lucky bounce on the punt. Maybe the Cards can put some points on the board here and make the natives restless.

 

[Steelers2012]

Finally brought some pressure on 3rd down, and got a big sack for the effort. Nice.

 

[CardX]

Wasting these rare defensive stops with stalled offensive drives.

 

[CardX]

Is Stevie Wonder the camera guy?

 

[Steelers2012]

Is Stevie Wonder the camera guy?

I was thinking the same thing. He's completely missed a couple of plays.

 

[Ipartiedwithhopgood]

Defense has played well enough so far. Cards have kept the ball on the ground a little more today and they are in the game.

 

[BPGhost]

Is Stevie Wonder the camera guy?

Gonna guess that the crew - including announcers - was substantially different on paper 6 weeks ago.

 

[Ipartiedwithhopgood]

I think that play kind of sums up this season.

 

[nccardfan]

I think that play kind of sums up this season.

Yep. We are really good until we aren’t.

 

[nccardfan]

On a side note, Boston College is laying the wood on Virginia.

 

[CardX]

BC currently rolling UVA, 17-0. Interesting.

 

[Steelers2012]

That was an important TD as an emotional lift before halftime. Let's just not give one right back.

 

[BPGhost]

Take the FG points when available! Scoring on every series is critical.

I agree - gotta believe that’s petrino not having any confidence that the defense can stop fsu from scoring tds.

 

[nccardfan]

Finally getting some pressure on the QB today!

 

[CardX]

Nice! Let's get 3 here.

 

[nccardfan]

Missed opportunity!

 

[Ipartiedwithhopgood]

This team just can't stand prosperity. Bad clock mgt by Petrino and the crew in the studio called him out for it. Could have gotten some yards with 8 seconds and time-outs left.

That said Cards got a shot.

 

[Steelers2012]

Alright...defense did its job here. Held the FSU offense to 7 points. Good work D!

 

[BPGhost]

Our linebackers are just not physical enough to tackle one on one. Isaac Stewart has been on his back at least 50% of the plays he’s been on the field. Someone tell me again why Stacy Thomas is not playing. Is he injured?

What coach doesn't run a quick play there with 8 seconds and two timeouts? That's just bad, Bobby.

It's long been a Petrino philosophy to carry those TOs over to the 2nd half, where they can be traded for points. Wait, what? That's not how it works???

 

[Steelers2012]

Held serve on opening drives. Keep it up D. Get it going O!
