The Cards will have to slow down 2013 Heisman winner "Famous Jamies" Winston the 'Noles mercurial QB that has rubbed defenses and people in the right and wrong way more than a few times. Having said that the Cards will be looking to beta the 'Noles as this is Louisville's one-game playoff.

Game Outlook:
The Seminoles are loaded, explosive, athletic, but they play down to the competition and that is a huge negative. The Cards have a real chance if they can jump out to an early lead and get some three and outs vs that explosive FSU offense. Winston is the key but RB Karlos Williams and WR Rashad Greene are big-time players and behind them it's a plethora of lesser-known names who will step into the FSU limelight in 2015.
The Cards need to keep down and distance and make FSU predictable on offense so they can get after Winston. Do you spy him not necessarily but you need to stay in your lanes and keep him inside the hash mark in the middle of the field.
The Cards with that pro-style offense of Petrino is super-balanced as they have two WR's Jame sQuick and Eli Rogers who have combined for 60 grabs. They also have two RB's that have combined to rush for over 760 yards in Brandon Radcliff and Dominique Brown. The 'Noles with All-American DT/DE Mario Edwards Jr. will challenge that Cards o-line and they have their work cutout.
The Cards will go with true Soph QB Will Gardner and he needs to bring his A-game or else! He will be under immense pressure to make plays against that athletic and ball-hawking 'Noles "D" and it might be too tall of an order for him as we will soon find out!
It will come down to who can get off on 3rd down,. the kicking game, and "splash plays" and FSU is looking to repeat as this might be another pot hole they need to avoid!
Winner: FSU 38 24...too much Cream at the top of that FSU roster for U of L to handle!
