I don't like either of these teams on principle but I plan to watch it.

Just telling you, Louisville Cards are the real deal. This game will be close (15 points) only because Cards take their foot off the gas. 38-23 UL moving into Top Ten.

 

No chance the Cards get a big enough lead to "take their foot off the gas". Are you somewhat saying that FSU is no different than Charlotte or Syracuse?

Wouldn't be surprised if the Cards win, but it will take all they have. Being home is helpful too. Go Cards!

FSU by 1-2 td's. The Nole's defense is much better than what UL has been playing.

Being a diehard Noles fan, I of course will pick FSU to win. But this game scares the bejesus out of me. UL has done nothing but impress me in their 2 games this year and has everything in place to have a special season. This one shapes up to be a barnburner.

 

Hurts the Noles that Derwin James injured his knee yesterday and may not play. Huge blow to our defense....

Noles now ranked #2.

I picked UL with absolutely no logic behind it. I think FSU is better at every position group besides QB. But something in my gut is telling me UL is going to pull this out.

Pulling for the Cards.

Florida St. 31-27.

Cardinals, 42-40.

I think FSU is better at every position group besides QB.

 

I agree, but I might give UL the edge at WR also based on sheer depth.

No. 2 vs. no. 10. Whoever scheduled this game for a noon kickoff rues that decision now, I bet.

Too late to change now I guess? Gameday rarely goes to a noon kickoff game. How is Kirk supposed to get up to the booth in time for the game? Lots of things to deal with.

Should be a great game. FSU should be able to cover receivers 1:1, load the box and spy on Jackson. I have to think that FSU can go old school and run between the tackles, eating clock and out physical and more finesse Louisville squad.
