Louisville’s defense is coming off of one of the worst performances any Card defense has put together in recent memory. Kentucky was able to average over 8 yards per play at PJCS on senior day and they were able to put up 352 passing yards in the rivalry game. Louisville has been up and down on defense in some ways this season. They played very well against Florida State and against some lesser opponents, but they have had extremely poor performances against Kentucky and Clemson in losses.
LSU has been (rightfully) labeled as a team with a bad offense but things have shifted a bit in Baton Rouge.
