Is Louisville Actually Good?

Honestly it’s hard to count them out with brohm even if their major weapons are banged up. In my opinion one of the best play callers and plays with tempo like fsu but doesn’t need to pull out little league plays to look effective.

Hetherman already shut him down last year.

The offensive line is retooled but still bad. Moss has been sacked 13 times already against inferior competition. Miami's pass rush should EAT.

Not a question of who we will face, more a question of the refs and their treatment of holding calls.

In short: no

Another long layoff so it is time to start looking ahead again!

Off the cuff? The answer is no, Louisville is not actually good. I think they are better than Virginia and might have won if they hadn't given up 14 defensive points, but they are very much the same team they always are.

They have an excellent offensive head coach, some NFL weapons at skill positions, a VERY suspect offensive line and although it looks like the defense is improved, the bar was pretty low and they still haven't really played anybody of note.

Thoughts:

- I actually kinda like Miller Moss. I don't think he is a superstar and he isn't mobile, so Miami should be able to get after him pretty good, but with time, he is an experienced distributor who can make tough throws. I think Kevin Jennings is the best opposing QB left on the schedule, but Moss is likely getting a least a look in the NFL and probably gets drafted.

- Chris Bell is a stud and a gamebreaker. I think Miami's secondary is up to the task, but this kid is the real deal and a surefire pro. The rest of the pass-catchers (shout out Jaleel Skinner!) are pretty average, so if we can shutdown Bell, we should be in good shape.

- Still love Isaac Brown and think he'd be an awesome Hurricane. Running back is not an issue for Miami, but Brown is a bit more of a gamebreaker than anyone we have. Miami should slow him down with its Front 7, but they gotta keep him corralled and in front of them.

- The offensive line is retooled but still bad. Moss has been sacked 13 times already against inferior competition. Miami's pass rush should EAT.

- The defensive line is undersized as always and the linebackers would be more exciting if Stanquan Clark was still healthy, but TJ Quinn isn't bad and shoutout TJ Capers too. He isn't that good but he is getting meaningful snaps.

- The secondary doesn't feature anyone of note, but the safety duo of Hutchinson and Evans looks passable

I am glad this game is at home, because if it was on the road, I think it would have trap potential. Brohm will scheme up a score or two, but Miami should be able to lean on them at the line of scrimmage and their defense does not look ready for our size and speed, especially compared to their opponents so far.

I don't even know how to look up future lines, but I'd bet we open at -9.5.

-13.5 feels more appropriate
 
They are our toughest remaining game and good enough to beat us on a bad night.

They’re a notch below FSU, but we match up better against them.

Jeff Brohm is a good coach, he is a good offensive mind. Bruce and Bell are good players. Moss is an average QB. That being said they don’t match up well with our lines. But every game going forward our biggest opponent is ourselves and if we don’t bring energy we can be beat. Being #2 puts a huge target on our back. Let’s go 1-0!

I want to smash that line am I missing something? We’re much better than them and I’d think Mario may want to do a better job closing out on the opponent after we have them beat this game

Seems low to me as well, but could be Vegas having concerns about us taking the foot off the pedal.

Castellanos is the sole reason FSU was able to get to 22 points, I expect our Dline to maul em and Miller Moss isn’t killing you with his legs, he’s gonna have nightmares about Bain n Mesidor after it’s all said n done .. imo it will play out to something like 35-17 canes if we don’t get ultra conservative again.
