What about Louisville's performance against WKU indicates they are so much better than we are?We're still not very good, 38-17 UL
It was 35-14 at halftime last year. Ended 52-27. They never scored more than a TD in any quarter while we had 3 in the first quarter alone. So again who's offense had their way with the other teams D?Louisville really had their way with our D last season and our lack of team speed was glaring. Satterfield always had good defenses at App St, so I expect them to improve moving away from the defensive dumpster fire Petrino had there. Miami's going to have to have a ball game. McCloud is going to get shredded by all the speed Louisville has, hopefully it doesn't take until the 3rd quarter to replace him.
One thing that could change is UL doesn't have those tackles anymore and their LT was getting abused vs WKU. We're going to really have to stifle Cunningham any time he tries to pass and sell out on the run and underneath stuff.
Yup that 52-27 beatdown of them last year show's that their a good team. Oh by the way they lost their 2 best OL to the NFL. OOPSLouisville probably will win. Louisville is a good team with a great QB. Let's hope our defense plays lights out.
LOL. I mean who is the best team that Louisville beat? That is a serious question. Maybe Wake (Cunningham didn't play that game). So with Cunningham as QB their best win is....UVA. That really isn't that impressive. I know we did have a down year but still beat Louisville with a bad QB and horrible OC. We made tremendous upgrades to both positions this year. I'm not saying Louisville is bad by any means. I just they they might be a little overhyped.We're still not very good, 38-17 UL
No one said that my humorless friend.This board said we were beating Clemson, so a Louisville should be no problem, right?
The 50% myth is just that (a myth). It might happen in the super bowl (where there are 100 million bets and the game is between two even teams that are relatively easy to handicap) but that’s about it. 70% of the money will always be on Alabama over Arkansas - even when the number gets to 40. It’s impossible to make money off the vig alone. The reason that the vig exists - that books are providing a service, a service that costs money to operate - is at least partially true.Vegas does not want equal action on both sides. There is a lengthy explanation I posted a year ago here about why mathematically it doesn’t behoove Vegas to call off action and just collect the vig rather than just book all bets. They move the line when certain profiles winners make bets that aren’t necessarily what some rich square bets on the same game. A $5k bet from a sharp could move the line and the same casino doesn’t budge it for a $20k bet from a square.
Great QB? smhLouisville probably will win. Louisville is a good team with a great QB. Let's hope our defense plays lights out.
So it IS possible to find something that all of CIS can agree on?No one said that my humorless friend.
i get the win prediction but you honestly think that only 30 points going to be scored in this game?They went from 2 wins to 8 wins the very next year because of Scatts coaching. The went from bottom feeders to the 2nd highest scoring offense in the ACC. He felt like they left a lot of points on the field last year. I think the tape will show that. If our LBs stay lost with PA, Boots and Crossing routes, they’re going to get theirs again.
But - I expect us to score against their asses early and often. No excuses. Get the W. We blasted this team last year with a Frosh QB. No reason to take a step back with King under center. We’ll see more of our play-book this game.
We win by 13-17, IMO. BUT, I’m a critical homer. So...
How to shut them up at night on the road
that's not what he said. he said the margin would be 13-17 points.i get the win prediction but you honestly think that only 30 points going to be scored in this game?
sorry misread it, makes more sense.that's not what he said. he said the margin would be 13-17 points.
It was 35-14 at halftime last year. Ended 52-27. They never scored more than a TD in any quarter while we had 3 in the first quarter alone. So again who's offense had their way with the other teams D?
