Louisville at Marshall (Saturday, September 24th, 8:00pm)

Marshall currently sits at 1-1 on the 2016 season. They most recently lost to the Akron Zips 65-38 at home. That does not look too good for a school ready to take on a powerhouse in the Louisville football team this coming Saturday.

This game sits between the Florida State and Clemson games for the Cardinals, which has had fans on edge throughout the offseason. Marshall had had a couple of good seasons and this will clearly be the biggest home game in sometime for their University. Louisville will have to play in front of a rowdy crowd on Saturday.

Even if Louisville comes out flat and doesn’t play well, they still have the depth and talent to overcome any setbacks in this one. If Akron can put up 65 points on the road against the Thundering Herd, then just think of how many points Lamar Jackson is going to throw up on that scoreboard Saturday night.

Next: Clemson

Lamar Jackson will play another shortened game on Saturday and the Cardinals will win easily. This win would put the Louisville football team at 4-0.
