Louisville Football: 3 bold predictions vs. Kent State in Week 4
By Jesse Smith
1. Kent State will scare Louisville in the first half
OK, this sounds far-fetched because Golden Flashes are 1-2 overall, but they have played Clemson already this season and, like the Cardinals, were manhandled 56-3. They aren’t expected to win in Louisville and we all understand that. Louisville just got handled at home by Clemson so will they come out tight against Kent State?
Kent State has already played top-tier talent this season so it won’t be a shock seeing a team the caliber of Louisville on the other sideline.
The Golden Flashes average 259.3 total yards, but where their bread is buttered is the running game, which is over 50 percent of the total offense at 185 yards per game. They will try to run against the shaky defense that allowed almost 300 yards on the ground to Clemson and control the clock to keep Jackson and that high powered offense off the field and it will work for two quarters.

After halftime, spreads will be covered and the rout will be on. At the half, I’m going with a score of 24-14 in favor of Louisville before it gets Master P sneaker ugly (google the Master P sneaker so you get the reference).
Sorry, Golden Flashes it will be ugly, but I think you can hang for 30 minutes.
