Jacob Trudeau’s Game Prediction:

Louisville comes into this game fresh off a big win shutting out Duke 23-0. The Cards might be without some key players though. On offense Jawhar Jordan, Jamari Thrash and a couple o-linemen are all questionable. Jawhar Jordan not playing would be the biggest loss in my opinion, he brings a homerun threat everytime he touches the ball. On defense Jarvis Brownlee will be out with a lower leg injury. Storm Duck should be able to slide in and give the Cards quality play at cornerback.

VT made a switch at QB in week 3 going with Kyron Drones and their offense is more dynamic with him running the show. The Hokies started off the season slow but they seem to be turning it around and I expect Saturday’s game to be a good one. Despite Louisville’s injuries I think they are the better overall team.

My score prediction is a 24-13 Cards win.
