Let’s take a deeper look at the Cardinals: A Q&A with Mark Ennis of ESPN Louisville

WT: Thursday night is shaping up to be one of the biggest home games at Carter-Finley Stadium in recent memory. How will Louisville prepare for what is sure to be a raucous atmosphere?

ME: Petrino said earlier that they'd dipped into some of the practice time for Kent State and for Murray State to use it for prep time for NC State. So, the first answer is they'll make up for the quick turnaround with the game being played on five days rest by borrowing prep time from lesser opponents. Second, they've used crazy loud music at practice and all of the standard stuff teams do to mimic a crowd's ability to disrupt a team.
