Sixth-ranked Auburn defeats Louisville 31-24

By Sam Draut–

Louisville went into the Chick-Fil-A Kickoff game against sixth-ranked Auburn with question marks across the board, but after the 31-24 loss in Atlanta, Georgia, at least one issue has been resolved.

After falling behind 17-0 in the first half, freshman quarterback Lamar Jackson led a feverish comeback that fell short.

The summer storyline was defined by the four man quarterback competition, but it was Reggie Bonnafon that trotted out with the first team on Saturday afternoon.

It started tumultuously for the Cardinals, though. On the opening play from scrimmage, Jackson took a direct snap and was flushed out of the pocket.
