Underwhelmed.
That is the word I would use to describe the Louisville-West Virginia game last night. The two teams might as well have been playing flag football out there as the two defenses were just awful. Not only do I not think Louisville deserves to go over a one-loss Florida or Auburn……..I would add that I think Texas, Notre Dame, and USC are all also superior to the Cardinals.
Louisville’s chances of beating The Ohio State University for the national title are roughly the same that Michael Spinks had against Mike Tyson or Alabama State had in the NCAA Tourney against Duke or even Trevor R. Freeman esq. currently has of bedding down Kirsten Dunst. Don’t give me that Brian Brohm gives them a puncher’s chance talk. That defense would have problems stopping Ohio University let alone Troy Smith, Ted Ginn Jr. and the rest of the Buckeye assault.
Luckily for us……….Louisville is going down next Thursday in Piscataway, New Jersey to the Cinderella of College Football. While West Virginia was Louisville’s toughest hurdle, I submit to you that Rutgers will be the one that they trip on. The Scarlet Knights of Rutgers are going to line up and they are going to run the football and control the time of possession. Their defense is a poor man’s version of Greg Schiano’s old Miami Hurricane defenses and they will make Brian Brohm uncomfortable which he wasn’t at all on Thursday night in Louisville.
Next Thursday is the biggest game in Rutgers history and they will play like it. Big-Time College Football excitement will officially hit the New York Metropolitan area as there will be Glory Days in New Jersey. The goal posts will come down in a Rutgers 24-21 upset.
