At halftime Tom Jurich was heard saying, “I just hope we can beat them.” That was with the University of Louisville football team leading Florida State 35-10 after the first 30 minutes.
He had reason to be concerned, given the frequency with Florida State has rallied in the second half to win games in recent years. Two seasons ago, the Seminoles overcame a 21-0 deficit at the half to win 42-31 on the Cardinals’ home field.
For UofL fans at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium on Saturday, the Cardinals couldn’t score too many touchdowns.
