Louisville’s offense won’t make bouncing back easy for NC State

You could describe nearly the entire ACC with that one Alonzo Mourning gif, and that is the beauty of 2021: each team is a shrug and a nod, often in chaotically different ways.

The land of contrasts most relevant to our interests this week is Louisville, which is the Wolfpack’s homecoming opponent on Saturday. The Cardinals are 4-3 overall and not that far from 6-1 but also could easily be under .500 at this point.

They were outclassed by Mississippi to open the season but have been riding a roller coaster ever since: they won on a walk-off pick-six against UCF, then tried to blow a 31-7 lead to Florida State the following week.
