Are we back to using stats to back up our argument?

I am since Brohm is now 9 points better than Woodson in passer rating.:thumb:

Gotcha.

Cards should handle Wake but I think it will be close.

Gotcha.

It was a joke, by the way.

 

Seriously, stats are only useful if all other things are equal. Brohm's injuries this past year made the stats less meaningful than they would have been. If there hadn't been the injuries and missed time for Brohm, things would have been more equal.

 

In this case, the only way to 'correct' for different backgrounds is to compare the yardage and scoring game by game, and compare the opponent's season statistics to what happened in each game, etc. I might get around to this, there's lots of time between now and January, but for right now the SOS comparison is the best I can do with 2 tests tomorrow.:lol:

UL probably deserves a shot at playing one of the bigger name teams, such as Notre Dame or LSU, which would have given them and the Big East a shot at some big-time recognition.

I agree. I wish Wake and GT had to play again so WVU and UofL could have more exciting games!

Too bad UL didn't get to play a famously good team, I would have liked to have seen that.

 

Don't count out Wake. By the way everyone is talking on here, it should be a laugher. Strange things have happened this year for UL, and with some poor opponents they've had trouble dominating.

 

UL - 27

WF - 21

UL 31

WF 14

Louisville - .794

 

Ouch

 

Anyway...good luck to the Cardinals in their bowl game!

Louisville has made it to the BCS...Yes!!! :ylsuper: I really dont care how much they win by as long as they WIN. Prove that you belong there, and you've done you're job...I cant wait for the trip.

Statistically, the defenses are pretty similar, but Louisville holds a very, very significant edge in offense. Louisville also played a much better schedule. With Brohm on fire the way that he is, Louisville should win this game. Anything can happen, and it's a month away so I won't predict a score, but I see Louisville big at this point.

I've been thinking of kicking you ever since Grothe was such a baby after they got spanked ("They weren't as good as I thought they were going to be") so don't tempt me.

I have no intention of defending or trashing Grothe. That's his opinion and he'll either have to back it up or pay for it next year. So kick away, but don't shank it. :banana:

Two? I only count one, which was @ FSU...And that one seems a bit tarnished this year...
