NC State is very thin at Linebacker right now and Louisville has to take advantage. Isiah Moore was not only a super productive player but he was also the leader and the most experienced player on this defense. Not having him should help UofL tremendously on offense.
To me, I think it will be important for Louisville to run the ball well early in the game. We all know how important their running game is to sustaining drives and opening up play-action. I think in this game it will be more important to wear down the defense because State’s backups are mostly freshmen.
