I just did the stats on the Louisville/Temple game, and nothing stands out, except for the Rushing stats posted by the Cardinals' offense. They only gained 177 yards on the ground. I would probably attribute it to the teams probable lack of interest. I listened to a lot of the game, and it seemed Temple never showed enough of a threat to keep Louisville on its toes.
The real striking part of this early research is how weak the Louisville schedule is. This week's game vs. Rutgers and next week's game vs. UCF might actually be their toughest games this year. I like the Cardinals and their coach, Charlie Strong, but, their 2013 schedule is pathetic. Check the list of teams they've played so far: Ohio, E.Kentucky, Kentucky, FIU, and Temple. Are you kidding?
Two questions I'm asking about Thursday night: Will Louisville look at Thursday night's game as an opportunity to impress pollsters? Has the Cardinals pathetic early schedule left them unprepared for a fairly tough Rutgers team?
