August 31, 201115 yr With this game now about 32 hours away, I figured it was time to get some sort of game thread going. What are everyone's feelings on the game? For me, I think Louisville is going to get exposed on defense but Murray won't have the ability to stop Louisville's offense. Bold prediction considering the rotten state of Louisville's secondary, I know. Louisville 49 Murray 24
August 31, 201115 yr Things to consider... MSU's QB (Brockman) is a potential All-American candidate. At least on the radar. The Racers will fling it all across the field. If he can get adequate protection they will move the ball on the Cardinals. Mike Harris will open some eyes out of the backfield and also an All-American candidate. Not a lot depth up front on either side of the ball. As with most of these games the sheer numbers and power of a BCS caliber opponent becomes too much to handle. Your prediction looks pretty solid.

I think a Louisville blogger said it best earlier this week when he said that "this game will have some tense moments, but none of them will come in the fourth quarter." I think Louisville's pass rush will grow more effective as the game wears on and Murray's offensive effectiveness is going to dwindle as the game progresses. Looking forward to seeing Murray's offense at work though. We Louisville fans love an "air it out" offense... I do miss Bobby Petrino sometimes...
August 31, 201115 yr I take these games for what they are designed for. It is just a scrimmage. What I want to see from UofL 1. defense get pressure. 2. Secondary make plays 3. Offense be able to run the football with little problems. 4. The Qb's manage the game. (Limit their mistakes)
August 31, 201115 yr I think that UL will win just not by as much as some may think. With C. Strong the Cards will play defense. With UL scoring once on defense or special teams....... U.L 28 MSU 17

U.L 28 MSU 17 Unless UL is just terrible on offense this year, they should easily put up more than 28 on Murray State.
August 31, 201115 yr Author Unless UL is just terrible on offense this year, they should easily put up more than 28 on Murray State. Agreed. The problem for UofL won't come with getting into the endzone tomorrow; it'll be how effective that EXTREMELY unproven secondary can be at keeping Murray out of it.
August 31, 201115 yr T's James Quick will be at UL on an unofficial visit. He will also be at ND soon for an official visit.
September 1, 201115 yr Without a doubt the Murray State Racer Band is the best College Band in Ky! My daughter and her friends used to go to the Murray football games just to watch the half time shows and to listen to the band during the games! Outstanding!!!!!
