The first half saw the offense struggle mightily. Aside from one well put together drive, they were unable to get anything going. Quarterback Deondre Francois has been inaccurate despite being provided some solid pockets by the offensive line. Francois is just 5/12 for 76 yards and a touchdown. The offense is averaging 4.5 yards per play.
The defense was picked apart by Louisville on the way to their second touchdown, and gave up another score heading into the half. Harlon Barnett’s group has been gashed for some chunk plays and are giving up 5.2 yards per play to Louisville, despite being relatively successful at getting to the quarterback.
