Why Louisville can cover
The Cardinals are coming off a huge fourth quarter and second half in their comeback victory on the road against Boston College last week. Louisville scored all 14 of the game’s fourth-quarter points and outscored Boston College, 24-7, in the second half. Even after Tyler Shough threw what could have been a costly interception with 3:57 left, the Cardinals defense forced a turnover on down with 1:53 left and held on for the victory.
Shough completed 28 of 38 passes for 322 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions in the victory, finding Ja’Corey Brooks eight times for 120 yards. Isaac Brown added 85 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries. Louisville scored the final 21 points with Shough finding Nate Kurisky for two scores and Brown having an 18-yard rushing touchdown. The Cardinals are 0-2 against ranked opponents, but they lost each game by just seven points in contest with Miami and Notre Dame, so they have proven the ability to play close with perceived stronger teams. Louisville (5-3) hasn’t lost a game by more than seven points this season. See which team to pick here.
