Louisville fell to sixth-ranked Auburn 31-24 on Saturday afternoon at the Chick-Fil-A Kickoff game in Atlanta, Georgia. Auburn jumped out to a 17-0 lead in the first half and held off Louisville’s feverish comeback in the second half.

QB 1– The long quarterback debate ended with Reggie Bonnafon walking out with the first team on Louisville’s opening possession. The sophomore completed 8 of 13 passes for 67 yards.

Poor start– On the opening play from scrimmage, freshman quarterback Lamar Jackson took a direct snap and was quickly forced out of the pocket.
