Isaac Brown broke free for a 97-yard touchdown run and finished with 235 yards and two touchdowns on 17 carries as Louisville rallied to defeat Florida State 44-20 on Friday night. The Cardinals outgained the Seminoles 438-190 after a fourth-down stop, with Brown’s explosive play coming after Kaleb Beasley stopped Jasen Lopez at the 3-yard line. Florida State had led 14-0 but failed to maintain momentum, with Norvell acknowledging an 'extremely poor performance' and taking personal responsibility.
He cited missed opportunities, lack of detail, discipline, and mental toughness, especially on the road, where FSU has lost 11 straight true road games and 13 straight away from Doak Campbell Stadium. Despite Ashton Daniels throwing for 209 yards and two touchdowns and adding a rushing score, the Seminoles managed only 362 offensive yards. Louisville’s ground attack totaled 397 yards, with Brown also contributing a 68-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter after a 71-yard kickoff return.
Norvell emphasized the need for ownership and correction ahead of a crucial rivalry game at No. 4 Miami next Saturday.
