Louisville quarterback Jack Plummer connects with Josh Lifson on flea-flicker in spring game

Spring game football is still in the air for college football fans across the country. On Friday night, the Louisville Cardinals wrapped up their spring game. They also put together one of the prettiest highlights of spring football this year.

The Cardinals dialed up a beauty of a flea-flicker in the second quarter, when wide receiver Kevin Coleman took the pitch, and tossed it back to quarterback Jack Plummer. Plummer then set his feet at the 43-yard line and fired a beautifully spun spiral to tight end Josh Lifson, who hauled it in at the 16-yard line.

Lifson then cruised into the end zone, completing one of the prettiest looking plays of the evening.

Sure, it might have just been a spring game, but it sure was a beautifully spun ball from Jack Plummer. And it was perfectly thrown right in stride to Josh Lifson. For the game, Lifson hauled in two catches for 42 receiving yards.

Plummer connected on 10 of his 13 passing attempts on Friday night, throwing for 130 passing yards and two touchdowns. He transferred to Louisville this offseason from the California Golden Bears. Last season for Cal, he completed 62.5% of his passes for 3,095 passing yards, while tossing in 21 touchdowns with nine interceptions.

He spent his first three seasons of college football under Jeff Brohm with the Purdue Boilermakers. During his three seasons at Purdue, Plummer threw for a total of 3,405 yards and 26 touchdowns.

Running back Maurice Turner led the Cardinals on the ground with 52 rushing yards on seven carries, including a 42-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter. Kicker James Turner went 3-for-3 on field goal attempts, including a 45-yarder with less than two minutes remaining in the first half. Their defense was led by T.J. Quinn, who racked up eight tackles and one interception.

Daniel Martens and Jack Reiger also had a solid day on defense–racking up seven tackles apiece.

The Cardinals are coming off an impressive 2022 campaign in which they finished 8-5 overall. The Louisville defense handed former Wake quarterback Sam Hartman one of the most humiliating losses of his college football career, throttling the Demon Deacons 48-21.
