It's a road game.

What's been consistent during this road losing streak? Thursday prediction threads.

So let's get this going immediately for Friday night's tilt.

Poll included.

L'Ville wins a close one. They have the talent and the home field. Petrino won't gift wrap a surrender cobra by passing on first down with the lead and 2 minutes to go. (CPJ won't go for it on 4th on the 20 in the first quarter either.)

But it doesn't look like rain is likely which is not negative. https://www.wunderground.com/forecast/us/ky/louisville?cm_ven=localwx_10day

Until we win on the road, we won't have won on the road in over a year.

Hope I'm wrong. I was wrong about us beating Pitt and USF. Been right about the other 3 which were no-brainers. This one is close; whoever wins the turnover battle wins the game.

Atomic has us winning 32-28. I'll take us losing 32-30.

35-31 GT.

Break the streak. I just hope to keep seeing improvement each week. We looked so sloppy the first 4 games and didn’t seem to be improving much week to week. Hopefully last week started a good trend.

It’s says here CPJ is 14-1 over the ACC rotating cross-divisional opponents. Look for that domination to continue vs a Louisville team who can’t stop the run and has a QB who throws picks.
GT 44 Louisville 17


Btw in case you haven’t noticed, this year’s team is snagging interceptions (unlike last year) and always cashing them in for points.

pretty sure Louisville is terrible but I actually wouldn't mind seeing a close win regardless. Haven't seen a game that ended in a one-score win since UGA in 2016. IMO, It would be a huge confidence booster if they could pull away with a one score game even if Louisville is bad

Nobody remembers last year we were down to Wake 10-21 before pulling away to a 38-24 Homecoming win.

But to your point, if Miami had not made that miracle 4th down catch and if we could’ve stopped Virginia one time to pull out those wins, I can’t help but imagine the team would’ve had way more confidence for the Duke game.

Fascinating. I will start watching the coaches. We sit near them on the west sideline. Last week it looked like Andy Mc was very active . .
What is the order the defense is determined. (Assume via head phones) . The signaling by whom - renember seeing DC make signals ,but it seemed like more of an emphasis signal. Saw Andy signal to lb. ?? How are they done?

We probably vary it a bit i know that woody signals so does Andy and the secondary coach they probably let the players know who is live for that drive. Roof being in the box probably meant they had one less sig aller last year
