GAME BREAKDOWN
KEY MATCHUP: Louisville must figure out a way to stop NC State’s offense. The Louisville defense has been so terrible the last two games they only forced 3 punts. In fact, Louisville has only forced 11 punts in the last five games. It has been an all system breakdown for the defense. They can’t stop the run and they aren’t good at defending the pass either.
DRAFT SLANT:
–OT Mekhi Becton is a massive individual at 6-foot-7 and 350-pounds. He’s mobile and agile despite his gigantic size. Just a sophomore, he would not be eligible until the 2020 NFL Draft, but he could be one to watch in that first round.
ROSTER REPORT:
–Starting DE Jonathan Greenard is out for the year after hand surgery
–Starting FB Tobias Little is out for the season with a knee injury suffered in Fall camp.
–Starting RB Dae Williams is out for the season with a broken bone in his hand
–TE Kemari Averett was suspended for a domestic incident
