Syracuse vs Louisville Game Preview


Why Syracuse Will Win

Can Louisville handle the rushing attack that’s about to blast away for a full four quarters? It’s questionable.

This isn’t the Louisville defense of the last few years. It started out with a rough run having to deal with Ole Miss, Wake Forest, and a healthy UCF, but the run defense has been terrific over the last month against a slew of brand name teams.

However, Virginia, Boston College, NC State, and Clemson don’t run like Syracuse does.

Yeah, Michigan State’s Kenneth Walker has been all but handed the Doak Walker as the nation’s best running back, but Sean Tucker is right there, QB Garrett Shrader has transformed the team with his power style, and the Orange are now third in the nation in rushing. They’re good for 200 yards on the ground in this no matter what, but …

Why Louisville Will Win

Again, the Cardinals are playing well and the defense has stepped it up in a big way. They’re not winning, but they’re holding up against the run.

Syracuse might be running and rumbling, but it’s not converting on third downs and it’s having a rough time converting all of the production into points. The Orange haven’t hit 30 points in the last three games, and it might have to if the Cardinal. O gets going.

Can the passing game take over? It’s possible to thrown the Orange defense, but it hasn’t faced a whole lot of teams that can do it – Wake Forest and Liberty were able to get going through the air.

What’s Going To Happen

It’s one of those Moment of Truth games for both teams.

Syracuse has five wins, but it closes out at NC State and against Pitt – getting that sixth to go bowling isn’t going to be easy.

Louisville has four wins. It should be able to win at Duke, but closing out at Kentucky is a lot to ask for if a bowl game is on the line.

Both teams are playing relatively well, but Louisville is having a hard time coming up with the big drive at the right time to pull games out. Syracuse is taking over with that ground attack.

Why Syracuse Will Win

The defense continues to be terrific.

It’s among the best in the ACC at clamping down and forcing mistakes, it leads the conference in blocks, and it’s the best at stopping threes – and it shows. The Orange are on a nice late run of three wins in four games and five wins in seven. And why?

That defense.

Clemson was able to avoid a slew of big mistakes and get hot from the field in a win over the Orange, and Virginia was Virginia from the field in its win.

Louisville is last in the ACC at shooting threes, there isn’t enough inside presence defensively, and there aren’t any steals to force easy baskets. However …

Why Louisville Will Win

The Cardinals win when they hit from the outside.

They’ve won just two of their last five games, and in those three losses they made 25% or fewer from three, and were solid in the wins over Duke and Georgia Tech.

For all of the good things Syracuse does, it’s not great at coming up with rebounds – Louisville should be at least a +5 in rebounding margin – and there should be a slew of one-and-dones. If the Orange aren’t doing anything on the offensive glass, they have to make at least 45% of their shots from the field and …

What’s Going To Happen

Louisville has only allowed three teams in the last ten to hit 45% from the field.

The Cardinals will have problems hitting from the outside on the Orange D, but they’ll be just good enough at home defensively and they’ll be way too strong on the boards.

Why Syracuse Will Win

Louisville has a hard time not giving the football to other teams.

The turnover problem was bad to start the season, there was an eye of the storm, and then it came back roaring with three giveaways in each of the last two games and five times overall.

Syracuse could use the help.

The secondary might have lost key talents, but the defense leads the ACC in takeaways and the D overall hasn’t been gouged lately. It hasn’t been a rock, but if Louisville’s offense keeps having issues with picks, the Orange will stay alive.

However …

Why Louisville Will Win

Syracuse has a giving problem, too. It can take the ball away just fine, but it alway likes to be gracious and provide enough turnovers to make life hard on itself.

It wasn’t always this way. The Orange were a whopping +11 in turnover margin over the first five games, and then … -8 in the last three with nine giveaways.

There’s that, and the offense has failed to come up with 300 yards of total offense in the last two games and only hit 100 rushing yards twice this season. Louisville should outgain Syracuse by way over 100 yards.

CFN Experts Picks, Predictions: Week 12

What’s Going To Happen

Both teams keep screwing up, and both teams are in the midst of massively disappointing seasons. Syracuse can’t catch a break, and outside of the battle with Boston College last week, it’s getting its doors blown off. Louisville can’t catch a break, and it’s losing too many close games.

Louisville will finally get an easy game.
