After a decent start to the bowl season, a 2-1 record, the one loss being the lack of showing from Fresno. Time to move on, to what has the potential to be a good game.
Louisville is an up and down team. They are never really on a run or on a decline. One thing that is for sure about Louisville is that their offense is run through Bilal Powell. Since taking over as the starting RB he has shown he is a top back in the whole nation. Their passing game is anything but great, though it is improved. Southern Miss has more of a duel threat not just on the ground but in the air. They rank high in both passing and rushing, with a dual threat at running back. It is going to be hard for Louisville to shut down both aspects of the Southern Miss offense. It will be much easier for the Southern Miss defense to shut down Louisville's one man attack. Shut down Powell and put the game into the hands of an inexperienced QB, I believe Southern Miss does that in a low scoring defensive affair. Southern Miss can score, but Louisville does decide to play defense some of the time, I like Southern Miss straight up against Louisville 17-14.
Good luck with the 4th bowl game and may it bring you riches!
