Key Factors to the Louisville game

Advertisement
We are definitely not a good team but we’re above average and plenty good enough to beat them. If we don’t hold ourselves back on O we would become good overnight. Long time coming beating the cardinal
 
It comes down to starting fast IMO, a quick score and we get some early mojo and the defense feeds off that.
NO.MORE.SLOW.STARTS!
 
While I understand why everyone is concerned with the defense coming out flat, I am hoping they want all want to show out for their senior LB corp

Lol, he needs to earn his paycheck somehow...

The man is getting paid $1million dollars to be the OC, if he can't scheme up points & 350-400+ yards on the 101st ranked Defense then he needs to pack his bags & head back to East Lansing.

There's not a single excuse for our Offense not performing at a high level tomorrow.

Was talking about this exact thing yesterday. I said if he can't put up 30 points against this defense he needs to voluntarily take a pay cut.

Defensive keys...
Prevent their O line from setting the edge.
Contain the QB in the pocket.
Don’t let TuTu beat us deep.

on Offense...
Get the run game going.
Convert some freaking 3rd downs.
Don’t turn the ball over.

Canes win 26-20
 
Play with intensity Canes had against GT and VT we lose. Play with same intensity as against FSU an easy win. Desire is always biggest key to any game plan

Oh **** yes I did, but then wins against Pitt and Fsu got my Stockholm syndrome creeping back up. Got me feeling like we could watch a few more wins this season. Got me feeling like I want to use my tickets to the Duke game instead of selling them. Yeah, I'm a sucker. Now I'm fully ready to lose my **** all over again.

Hit him hard enough when he leaves the pocket and he wont be a running threat. I'd he willing to concede a few yards early in the game just to give a Miami defender a running start to light him up. It's hard for a QB to scramble when he's coughing up blood.

Perfect scenario...

This game will be a great barometer of growth for the offense and defense.

We need to show growth in our ability to have success on second down to create better opportunities if need on 3rd.

This feels like a game that sour offense will try to control the clock so 2nd and 3rd loom large. I think we dink, dunk, run through 12 and gradually turn this to big play play actions and variations of short yardage plays that open up intermediate/deep routes.

I fully expect:

150 from Deejay
75 from Cam
50 from Jarren

I like JT, KJ and Noodles to hit a lot on the shorter routes and the the former hitting on the deep hits with Dee carrying the trend over from the FSU game.

Big games for JT and Noodles.

Should be an opportunity also to square up in the red zone and get some simple but effective plays there for TDs.

42 for the offense.

The defense has a chance to struggle if Lou does what VT did, which, if I’m an OC is the game I’m watching on UM. We’ve notoriously struggle with DT qbs.

this is where Baker/Diaz have to grow this defense.
I want to see Romeo/Frierson tracking the QB all game to help the defense work in the lanes they thrive in.

If not there QB will eat us alive. Alternatively, if they watch our VT game we need to watch the VA game.

Good coverage lets the pocket collapse, shrink run lanes for QB and allows the Dline to eat.

I think we see that early but we let Louisville back in it after half. Not too much tho.

Shaq 12 tackles 3tfl
Romeo/Gil 12/4
Rousseau 2 sacks 8 tackles 3 Tfl
Garvin 3 sacks 6 tackles 4tfl
Ford/Nesta 2.5 sacks 6 tfl
Ivey INT
Bandy FF/FR
Gurvan Hall 11 tackles INT

Louisville 24

Your boy got **** close. Should have bet the over.

On offense we should have a huge advantage vs Louisville, they are legit the worst Defense we'll play this season.

- Louisville is ranked 101st in Total Defense, 106th in Pass Defense (89th in Pass Defense efficiency), 60th in teams sacks with just 18 on the season, 68th in TFL's & 87th in Run Defense.

- Vs Notre Dame they gave up 423yds (230yds rushing)
- Vs FSU they gave up 522yds (382yds passing)
- Vs BC they gave up 563yds (259yds rushing)
- Vs Wake Forest they gave up 668yds (423 passing & 245 rushing)
- Vs Clemson they gave up 551yds (298yds rushing)
- Vs UVA they gave up 311yds

What that means, they suck BAAAAADDDD. So, Enos has another opportunity to exploit a really bad Defense, but with LVille they don't have the same caliber of talent that FSU has which means there's absolutely NO EXCUSE for not carving this god awful Defense up.

Enos hopefully sticks with going more Gun & utilizing the RPO, there's so much film of this Defense getting shredded all over the field with multiple concepts you'd be hard pressed to find an OC that doesn't salivate at the thought of scheming up some big chunk yard plays vs this team. JT4, Wiggins, Deejay & company should all have a big game. They don't stop the run, or the pass or rush the passer at all, LIGHT THESE BIRDS UP Enos!

Defense:

Their best playmaker is my jit Tutu Atwell, he's their best WR & they get him the ball in various ways, he has 41rec 668yds & 7TD's. They will utilize his speed to their advantage & try to get him in one on one matchups with LB's & Safeties.

Javian Hawkins is a very good & explosive RB as well, he's got 887yds & 6TD's on the season, he may be the most dangerous RB we've faced this season, they will get him the ball in the screen game & run the ball with him a lot going with cut back zones & misdirections trying to force our LB's to over pursue.

Dez Fitzpatrick is a good WR too, I would match him up with Blades all game because I think he's a bad matchup for Ivey. He's a Deep threat WR on the long ball, we better have Safety help over top with this kid & play a lot of Double High to contain them from stretching the field.

They have a good Offense & Satterfield is a good coach, he's gonna throw the kitchen sink at Manny/Baker, our Defense needs to play smart discipline football in order to slow them down, don't get too cute with exotic Blitzes because LVille's QB Micale Cunningham will run the ball a lot (think Va Tech game except better players). They're going to try to use their speed & go with the Quick passing attack to slow down our pass rush, Defense needs to force turnovers & get off the field on 3rd downs.

We can definitely beat Louisville if we get an early lead & apply pressure on them, if we play sluggish & don't put up points & allow them to hang around all game long we'll be in danger.

Last week I felt the Defense had to put the game on their shoulders & win it, they did just that. This week I feel our Offense has such a huge advantage going up against their weak Defense that they should handle their business & give us an early lead allowing our Defense to play more comfortable & pin their ears back.

To me, it's on Enos & the Offense to put us in position to win, not saying the Defense bares no responsibility, but their offense matches up with our Defense, but their Defense is no match whatsoever for our Offense.
