Could definitely use a solid double-digit win to quiet the naysayers who say Miami got lucky its last two games.

And frankly, help us feel a little bit better instead of waiting for late game theatrics to not go our way.j

Just win!! Nothing else matters. If we win all the rest of our games. No one can say anything. College football is all about close games. Penn State won in overtime, Alabama, barely won, and Ducks won by one point. That’s football.

Look at the last 3 weeks. We played USF in 100 degree heat, they run the fastest tempo in football, and we were their Super Bowl. We won the game convincingly because we're the better team, but we had players dropping like flies with cramps and overheating and exhaustion. But we win.

Then we play Virginia Tech on six days of rest on the following Friday. That's a rivalry game, we are their Super Bowl. We still win.

Then we fly 3000 miles to play Cal. The game doesn't end until 2:30 AM. Cal has a BYE the week before, it's their first ever College Gameday, and so we're their Super Bowl. We come out flat but we still win.

Nobody is talking about it, but WE WERE JUST TIRED. That was a brutal stretch.

A lot of the defensive issues - missed assignments, missed tackles - those things will be corrected with nothing more than just getting proper rest.

I think we come out and blow Louisville out. We're a much better team than they are, and we'll be healthy and rested. This will look a lot more like the first couple weeks than the last couple IMO.

When will we stop saying this “we’re their superbowl”, “we get everybody best game” and just start realizing we have gotten out played and out coached at times

We been saying that **** for a decade plus, maybe the other teams are just good and prepared to play us and we slack and play down to their level

Welcome another poster to Villainville
 
Make the cards drive the field. Limit explosives. Play a little red zone roulette. Explosives will kill us. That rb is fast and can go the distance. Jacorey brooks isn’t a burner but he’s a good 50/50 guy and they like to hit him deep. Maybe we finally see OJ tested properly.

Virginia held them in check most of the game
 
Isaac Brown has been officially named RB1.

He had 20 carries last week. Duke Watson only had 7. Chaney had 1.

If we hold him under 100 yards, we win by 2 scores. Shough is OK, but he'll give us 1-2 chances for a turnover, and he's not going to beat us with his legs. In their last 4 games, they've scored 24, 27, 24, and 31 points. If we can get to 30 on offense, we'll have a great shot to win. Do what we do on offense, and just limit them on the other side.

love your enthusiasm, but fernando mendoza just torched us and they put up 38 after scoring 9 against FSU

we'll get Louisville's best shot and brohm is the best play-caller we've faced so far. i hope guidry comes with a better game plan and the DB's play smarter football

Their fans seem fairly confident despite their complaints about Brohm this year. Not totally unreasonable I guess given recent history and the fact they’ve got us at home.

I hear ya. They also had 410 total yards against FSU, and only 370 against us. Regardless though, yes the defense has to play better than they have the last 2 games. I will watch 1 more game before I start their eulogy, however. That was the biggest game for Cal in decades and we flew 2500 miles to play a game in the middle of the night. No excuses, play like a champion. But I'm not quite ready to throw dirt on the defense just yet. Big test Saturday, and it's about time we force some turnovers. We got 1 each the past 2 weeks, but the VT one was a total gift, it wasn't forced in the least bit. And the one vs Cal was on the last play of the game with them in total desperation mode.

We need a score on defense, or at least a takeaway deep in an opponent's territory. Even the ones we got vs the gator were in our own endzone or on our side of the field. It's time for a strip sack scoop and score, or a pick deep in their end.

Shough has thrown a pick in each of the last 3 games. He also fumbled on a long run vs Notre Dame.

The Cal offense scored 31. One of those scores in the 38 points was a pick 6.
 
I like this matchup for us - a lot. Just don't turn the ball over and limit/eliminate their explosives and we rout them. Cherry on top would be if we can shut down their run game, but getting up by 3 TDs should accomplish the same end.
