The Other Side: How Louisville and Houston stack up

This weekend, the No. 5 University of Louisville (9-1) used a 34-point fourth quarter to defeat Wake Forest University.

For the seventh time this season, the Cardinals scored more than 40 points. With conference play over for U of L, the Cardinals now take their top-rated scoring offense down to Houston to face the Cougars (8-2).

While the game isn’t a top-10 matchup that was expected at the start of the season, the game still holds large implications.

Head coaches — Bobby Petrino (12 years, 109-40, five bowl victories) vs. Tom Herman (two years, 21-3, one bowl victory)

Two of the best offensive minds in the nation are going head-to-head Thursday night.
