Can TCU put up points on a once stellar UL D???

[Pats01]

I see alot of guys with the OVER for tonight, will UL fix the defensive disaster of last week??

I believe so. The thing about last week that is often overlooked is that memphis came into the season as one of the favorites in the league and was ranked around 25. Memphis returned 10 starters from a offense that was one of the best in the country in ppg. They have one of the top 10 backs in the country and the school's top leading passer in history. So they were very capable of scoring. On the other hand, I don't think TCU has these weapons so I feel that the Louisville defense will respond and keep TCU's point total around 14-17

I think they make an improvement on defense tonight, but TCU is still good enough to put up some points. TCU has the #20 offense in the land and are averaging 32ppg. Yes, they have not played a very tough schedule, but their offense is the strength of the team. Think they score 20+ tonight, even if one of the scores is during late 4th quarter garbage time. A score of 45-21, 49-24, seems to be about right.

The obvious bet, by stats, is to take the over. But I think Louisville will have a lot to prove tonight on defense, so I'm leaning towards the under, but won't decide untill later.

BOL on your play.

Pats....I see Louey coming out with a vengance and rolling up a big lead, then letting the 2nd and 3rd team D get a chance....that coupled with some injuries Thor alluded to with both TCU QBs might allow them to score twice or so...maybe and under and a 45-14 score or something in that range.......don't like a side cause it could be a back door cover situation, Louey has 3 games left and no reason to risk injury when you can save guys for later.......GL whatever you play, just beat the man like a redheaded stepchild!:yeah:

Another tid-bit in this game is the offensive coordinator for TCU, Rip Scherer. This is the same Rip that used to make Memphis's offense inexcistent (spelling?). He is very predictable which favors Louisville's D.

Just read that TCU has won the past 3 years

[jgpennin]

Yeah, I saw that as well. I'm leaning towards a teaser at
TCU +30.5
UNDER 74

Not sure yet though. I beleive TCU has the confidence to keep it a game early, but Louisville will prevail in the second half. Feeling a 42-17 type score.
