Is There a Defense Against Louisville's Offense?

[chicky9914]

Our defense has really show an amazing effort despite all the injuries to key players Verpaele and Buie

[USFPhil]

This is not even close to the UL team of last year.  We need to run the ball well and have some long drives and then have our D make a few big plays and then I BULLieve we have a shot to win this one.

USF will have to pressure the QB and shutdown the run, nothing is impossible.

UCF made our secondary look like swiss cheese. Louisville will make it look like we're only playing with a  front 7.

I'm not really sure how to act next week. During pregame, we talk a LOT of crap to the opposing team.....but, um, we're gonna get crushed so I dont really know what to do/say. Help?

Louisville stayed at the Wyndham Hotel in downtown Tampa when they played us two years ago. Chances are, they are staying there again this year.

Suggestion:

;D

Lets all go to the hotel where they are stationed, pretend to be frat guys from another school, and pick fights with key offensive starters.  If we get at least brohm and bush suspended for a game, everything should be a o k.

That or pressure the crap out of brohm and hope he makes mistakes.

Haha, now that's funny!

I don't know what to think about this game.  I'm always optimistic...ALWAYS.  Yes, it's Louisville and yes they're top 10, but still...upsets happen and that's what I'm hoping for.

That is not recommended! Two teams did that last year. Granted both were at home but both ECU and UC came in and jumped up and down pre-game on the Cardinal at midfield (obviously that will be impossible) and got up in UofL player's faces.

ECU got the better end of the deal, losing 59-7. UC drove home after 70-7.

Phil, what are we not as good at this year as last year? After 2 games last year we were only avg. 40 points a game, right now after 2 we're avg. 47.

On Offense, having sustained drives that end up with points will be a huge factor. We can't turn the ball over. The passing game will be a bit more in play in this game as well. PJ needs to keep playing the way he has been.

Obviously, the D needs to play their best game and force some turnovers. Louisville will get their yards and points. Nicholas will need to be the man as we have come to expect.

If you look at both of Louisville's games, but especially the Oregon State game, they won because of stupid mistakes by the other team. Grant it they capitalized on those mistakes, but special team mistakes and stupid turnovers plagued Oregon State. If we keep the turnovers to a minimum 9by that I mean 0, 1 tops) and force a few of our own, Louisville is beatable. They will let you score with them, but you have to find a way to stop their offensive firepower.
