Are any Louisville fans genuinely concerned about this game? I know the Cards have had a week and a half to prepare, but do you think there's any chance they tank and blow this one? Remember, prior to beating West Virginia, Louisville had been struggling to win low-scoring ballgames. South Florida seems to thrive in low-scoring games.

 

By the way, I don't believe any of my questions! Louisville 28, South Florida 14.

 

I think you would have to be foolish not to be worried about this game after what happened last year...

Grothe had 262 yards of total offense in that game, 196 passing, 66 running, and scored the only touchdown by the Bulls. He had no help, though. The Bulls only had 309 yards of total offense as a team. USF spent that game shooting themselves in the foot. Everytime they'd get a drive going, they'd do something stupid and get a pentalty or they would turn the ball over. An offensive pass interferance (good call) killed a real scoring drive in the 4th. The game ended on an interception in the end zone with the Bulls driving.

 

Cincinnati held Matt to 57 total yards, 47 passing, 10 rushing.

Thanks for the clarification...the more I read about these Bulls they are severly underrated...I did read this though:

 

South Florida receiver Taurus Johnson apparently can see blood in the water. He told the St. Petersburg Times this week that if the Bulls start strong tomorrow night at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium, "then Louisville should fold. The crowd won't be an issue at all."

Last I heard, Taurus was still running laps. I don't think USF is going to catch Louisville napping this year.

"The last couple of days have been difficult," Louisville coach Bobby Petrino said. "You worry about [having played] two emotional games [against West Virginia and Rutgers] and go do it again. This will be a difficult task."

 

Added Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich: "South Florida manhandled us last year. I don't care what anybody says. After playing West Virginia and Rutgers, if people are thinking South Florida is going to be a walk in the park, they're wrong. Just look what happened last year."

 

Petrino said he doubts his club needs any reminders.

 

"We just have to turn on the video and watch last year's game," Petrino said. "You might want to play someone you could step on, to be honest with you. It [last year's loss] will help us get ready."

 

Even though the Cardinals are again big favorites this year, UL cornerback William Gay, of Tallahassee Rickards, said the Cards won't overlook USF.

 

"Losing at South Florida hurt me a lot, with me being from Florida," Gay said. "It looked like we looked past South Florida and they were looking forward to us. We're not going to do that this year. No way. We learned our lesson."

Go Cards! I don't care who does what, I just want them to WIN!

I'm kind of disappointed none of you Cardinal fans out there are keeping us updated. Since Time-Warner decided I can't have ESPNU, I'm lost unless there are halftime highlights.

 

UofL is up 17-0.
