Coming into this game after the Miami Hurricanes dismantled the UAB defense to the tune of 337 rushing yards, you knew Louisville was faced with a conundrum. Pick your poison. Do we wholesale try to stop the run or do we dare the Hurricanes to beat us in the passing game?
Option B proved to be a futile exercise as D’Eriq King showed he was more than capable of being a high level passer. The dynamic King finished 18/30, adding 325 yards and three touchdowns through the air.
Louisville was egregiously disrespectful. Cover zero is the term coaches employ when no safeties are over the top.
