Louisville was a disaster last year at 2-10 but worse than that is that this team quit on Bobby Petrino and he was fired. The Cardinals gave up 57 points per game in their last seven. The Louisville offense has a lot of question marks but the defense is going to be vastly better. They are off a shutout and held a powerful Notre Dame offense in the opener to 423 yards and 6.5 yards per play. Western Kentucky was once a high-octane offense but is no longer. They managed a total of 48 points vs Central Arkansas and Florida International. This looks like a game without a dominating offense in either side and defenses that are capable of getting stops vs. pedestrian offenses. Play on the UNDER in this one.
