Louisville is also in a big bubble burst situation fresh off getting beaten by Central Florida. This is only the second game outside of the state of Kentucky all season. The other was at lowly Temple.

USF has turned their season around with two straight straight up wins as underdogs. Louisville coach Charlie Strong admitted the loss took a ton out of him. Strong said he did not sleep Friday night and avoided watching games over the weekend.

USF has a young defense that will get better as the year goes on and play much better at home. Well it is a combo of both here. Defensively they are holding teams to .6 yards per pass below their normal average.
