Who do you think wins and why?

Louisville.

 

Because they are better.

Louisville 49-20.

Louisville by 4 touchdowns.

 

I'm right there with @SLINK.

I hate bye weeks.

Wow... Just saw Louisville is a 32-point favorite.

 

Wonder how many times UofL can score 70 in the second half of the season?

Louisville.

 

Why? Because this isn't basketball.

UofL and big. Might even cover that enormous spread.

All those guys from when Duke made the Peach Bowl a couple years back are long gone and they've just not replaced them well.

 

This isn't a good Duke team. Louisville wins and will do it with another 60-point offensive showing.

Louisville 58

Duke 14

I'd take the 32 points coming off a BYE on a FRI night. That said, I hope UofL keeps the momentum from the 2nd half of the Clemson game and starts to get their OL in the shape they need to be against lesser opponents.

 

As I have preached from Day 1, this team will go as far as Radcliff & Smith (particularly at the goal line) / Petrino's run play calling will take them. Jackson is the shiny new toy on Xmas morning that Petrino wants to play with all day. When he can establish the run with Radcliff on called run plays (not read options), it makes Jackson running or passing MUCH harder to deal with. If they can't / won't run the ball, defenses key on Jackson (and he still torments them on occasion) and he is less effective.

Cards in a big way, I wouldn't be surprised to see Jackson on the sideline after halftime.

I have a feeling it won't be all that easy - at least to start off with. Cutcliffe (sp) is a pretty darn good coach.

I agree, but I don't think this group of guys has it. They've already lost to Wake Forest, Northwestern, and Virginia. Their wins are against an FCS team, the worst Notre Dame team in memory, and a squeaker against West Point.

 

They're just not very good.

Cards by 24.
