- Because the team that started 0-3 and then won 4 of 5 will beat the team that started 3-0 and then lost 5 in a row.

- Because Shafer will find a way.

- Everybody gets well against us.

- Louisville is struggling on offense but there’s nothing wrong with their defense, which is ranked #16 in the country. (All our remaining opponents, even NC State, are in the top 20.) From Campus Insiders: “Louisville boasts one of the top defenses in the ACC, which will cause problems for Dungey and the one-dimensional Syracuse attack. The front generates a ton of pressure from the likes of linemen DeAngelo Brown and Sheldon Rankins and linebackers Trevon Young, Devonte Fields, Keith Kelsey and James Burgess. And with the Cards winning the line of scrimmage, Dungey still lacks the arm talent and receivers to make a difference over the top.”

- Louisville has 12 sacks in their last two games. Trevon Young alone has three in each game. Eric Dungey, like Captain Hook, will hear that tick tick tick…

- They had five takeaways against Wake Forest- in the second half.

- A bad Syracuse defense can’t afford to lose three starters- end Luke Archinega, linebacker Parris Bennett and cornerback Corey Winfield. But we did.

- Both teams have true freshman quarterbacks. Louisville’s Lamar Jackson is the type of mobile athlete that gives us, (and everybody else a lot of problems)> Eric Dungey runs the option but I’ve yet to see evidence that he is a great scrambler or improviser.

- Jamari Staples has 229 receiving yards in the last two games, including 10 catches for 133 yards and 2TDs. With Corey Winfield out, guess who is likely to be covering him.

- Louisville K John Wallace has 60 career field goals. If they need #61, he’s a good bet.

- You’ve already decided we’re going 3-9 again, haven’t you?
 
Hmmm... Your "Why ______ will win" is not nearly convincing today as in weeks gone by... Hope my hunch is right!
 
Damn! I wish your "Why The Bad Guys Will Win" posts were less convincing. I'm forced to "Like" them. But I don't want to.

It was a rush job. (I'm doing my basketball preview). I got to 11PM Friday and remembered I hadn't done it yet. If I;d spent more time on it, I could have made it more convincing. Maybe...
