Boston College vs Louisville Game Preview


Why Boston College Will Win

The Louisville offense has been outstanding over the last few games and it hasn’t mattered.

As good as the O has been, the D has screwed it all up in back-to-back losses against Wake Forest and Virginia – the pass defense wasn’t even close.

This might not be the same Boston College offense without Phil Jurkovec at quarterback, but the passing attack was just fine against Clemson and the offense overall has been able to move the chains. Throw in a defense that’s good on third downs and …

Why Louisville Will Win

No, the Boston College O didn’t go in the 33-7 loss against NC State.

Getting things going on the ground has been an issue over the last two games, and Dennis Grosel isn’t a sharp enough passer to make up for it.

Having to press, the mistakes are coming from the offense with five giveaways over the last two games after only turning it over four times in the four four outings.

The Louisville defense is the worst in the ACC and it doesn’t come up with takeaways, but this is the game to start doing it. It doesn’t hold firm in the red zone, and it doesn’t easily get off the field, but generating at least two takeaways is a must.

What’s Going To Happen

It’s not exactly do-or-die time for both teams, but …

It sort of is for Louisville.

The 3-3 Cardinals still have at NC State, Clemson, and Kentucky still to deal with – they can’t afford a loss in a 50/50 game like this.

Boston College has an easier path to get to six wins and a bowl game, but it has to quickly pull out of the two-game slide.

In a fun, close game, the Louisville offense will be a bit sharper – and the team will play with a greater sense of urgency – even with the defense having a rough time putting the game away.

Why Louisville Will Win

It might be a rough run and a tough season, but the offense picked it up in a big way over the last month. It helps to play Florida State and Syracuse along the way, but the Cardinals are averaging close to 500 yards a game over the last four with the running attack ripping up Virginia and the passing game rolling against Virginia Tech.

The defense has been fine – the Cardinals lead the ACC in pass defense, holding four of the last five teams on the slate to fewer than 200 yards. Boston College can’t run consistently, so if Phil Jurkovec and company aren’t on, the O won’t go.

So if the Cardinal offense is better, and the defense is fine, what’s the problem?

Why Boston College Will Win

The offense isn’t that great, mostly because the O line is the worst in the ACC at allowing teams behind the line. That’s leading to a whole lot of mistakes for a Cardinal attack that’s screwing up way too much, turning it over three times in each of the last three games, and three times in six of the last eight games.

Boston College is the second best team in the ACC in takeaways.

No, the Eagles don’t have the pass rush to take advantage of the leaky Cardinal line, but the defense has been fine, the passing game is consistent, and …

What’s Going To Happen

Disruption is never a good thing for any college football team, especially if that means a road trip. Louisville was supposed host Wake Forest, but things had to be shuffled around, and now it has to go on the road to deal with the Eagles.

Louisville will get off the bus with three turnovers, Boston College will score off of enough of them to get comfortable, and the passing game will be just effective enough to control the tempo.
