When Louisville hosted Florida State last Thursday night, the Cardinals got out to a fast 21-0 lead over the unbeaten Seminoles. But FSU came storming back, cementing the win by stopping Louisville on a crucial 4th-down play in the final quarter.
Although Louisville started the game with a 71-yard catch-and-run from quarterback Will Gardner to All-American candidate DeVante Parker, they also used a number of short throws ‒ especially to their tight ends on “throwback” passes, which entail the quarterback rolling out and then turning to pass back across the field in the opposite direction of his rollout.
The Cardinals used these passes three times in this game; the first two were successful, but the third, near the end of the game, demonstrated that a team shouldn’t go to the well too often.
