Louisville vs Syracuse Game Preview

Why Louisville Will Win

The Cardinal offense should be balanced and should be able to explode at times.

Malik Cunningham is the signature star looking to make a big early splash, but Louisville is more than the dual-threat playmaker. The passing game will be better this season, but it’s the ground attack going against a green Orange front three that should control the game at times.

The Cardinals have a deep group of backs behind a line that gets four starters back and should once again be among the best in the ACC in pass protection. Give Cunningham time to work, and look out.

However …

Why Syracuse Will Win

The Louisville defensive front decent isn’t going to be a rock, and here comes the Syracuse ground game.

The pass rush should work fine against an always leaky Syracuse offensive front, but even with a slew of improvements and tweaks, the Cardinals are going to get bashed on by the teams that can run.

The 1-2 punch of All-America RB Sean Tucker and bruising QB Garrett Shrader were held in check in the 41-3 loss to the Cardinals last year – one of the Louisville’s best performances of the season – but get ready for a much different look at home. The two rushing stars are about to bash away.

What’s Going To Happen

This is one of those tone-setting games for both teams that each must have. There are too many landmines along the way to each one to assume six wins without getting one here.

Louisville was brilliant in last year’s win with Cunningham throwing for four scores and running for another, and he’ll be electric again. The difference this time around will be the more effective Syracuse offense that will control the clock and the game from the start.

It’ll be a back-and-forth fight, but the steady will push back over the sensational.

The Syracuse Orange are on the road Friday night when they face the Louisville Cardinals from Cardinal Stadium.

Syracuse comes into this matchup trying to snap a five-game losing streak, losing their last four road games. They kept it close against Boston College last week with their third-string quarterback and he will have a full week to prepare for the Cardinals. Meanwhile, Louisville has lost their last six of seven games and will look for some home-field advantage tonight.

This should be a fun game to watch, don’t miss it, here is everything you need to know to stream the game.

Why Syracuse Will Win

Can the Orange keep the Louisville slide going? Just when it looked like everything was rocking and rolling with a ten game winning streak, the Cardinals managed to blow it with two straight road losses thanks to an ice cold offense.

UofL has died from three, hitting just 9-of-51 in the two road losses, and now it has to deal with the Syracuse length and defense that’s a whole lot better than it’s been playing lately.

Offensively, the Orange aren’t turning the ball over, the offense is hanging around in shootouts, and …

Why Louisville Will Win

They’re losing. Syracuse has lost four of their last five games because it’s shooting worse from the outside than Louisville is.

Over this rough five-game run, all four losses came when the Orange were shooting worse than 30% from three. They managed to win a bit over the last several weeks when they weren’t on from the outside, but that’s been an aberration.

Louisville’s defensive from three is terrific, the D overall is great from the field with the attacking style to make the cold Syracuse offense deal with a whole slew of one-and-dones, and …

What’s Going To Happen

This is when the Cardinals stop the slide. The two losses were on the road, and now they’re back at home where the defense should step it back up in a bit of a slugfest.

Syracuse has been getting rocked from the outside lately, and it’ll happen again as the Cardinals pull away.
