Louisville Football: Best quotes from Lamar Jackson after the win over NC State
We take a look at the top quotes from Lamar Jackson after Louisville football’s huge win against NC State last Saturday.
Lamar Jackson led the Louisville football team to their sixth win of the season on Saturday against the NC State Wolfpack. There was a ton of criticism that came their way after a close win against Duke, but all questions were answered when Jackson threw for over 300 yards and ran for 50 more in the first half against the Wolfpack.
It was an important win for the Cardinals, therefore we should take a look at what the leading Heisman candidate had to say about the win over NC State.
Here are the quotes from Lamar Jackson from the Courier-Journal’s Jeff Greer:
(Putting style points up get in your heads?)
“Actually we just went to practice and we focused, and it was really all about focusing because last week we didn’t focus at all and we came out here, and we executed, and kept scoring points. Even field goals, they count, and just came out on top.”
This was great to hear from Jackson after Louisville didn’t play very well against Duke. These guys are well-coached and know what it takes to win, therefore fans shouldn’t be worried about if they will see another poor performance from the Cards this season. It’s extremely important that they just win, rather than just putting up style points.
(Was Cole Hikutini a good option today?)
“He’s an athlete. He’s not just an ordinary tight end that’s going to block. He can catch passes. He has speed too, but he got caught on one of them. I had to get on him about that one…”(Are you going to get on him about the leap?)
“That whole time on the sideline, that’s what I was doing. I went all up to him…”(What did you actually say?)
“I said he shouldn’t have done that. Jeopardizing his health.”
This was funny at the time, but as time has gone on, I just hope that Hikutini never tries to do that ever again. There are only a few guys who can do that kind of thing during a game and he isn’t one of them. To make it worse, if you watch the replay, the defender wasn’t even bent over. Please do us a favor an stay on your feet Cole Hikutini.
(What was your best throw?)
“I think the post to Jamari (Staples). I think that was the best one.”
(Not Jaylen?)
“No Jamari (Jamari Staples). Jamari caught a post too.
Jackson is dead on in his assessment of his best pass of the day. His throw to Jamari Staples was an incredibly accurate pass. He threw that thing on a dime in the smallest window I have seen all season long. It was a phenomenal pass from a continually improving young quarterback.
