Middle Tennessee State vs. Louisville 8:00 EST
I'm not exactly sure why this game is being played, but it is college football, and many will be tuning in to get their final weeknight college football fix. The Louisville Cardinals come into this one off their "BYE" week, and have been a decent proposition in this spot covering the number 9 of the L/14 times.
That being said, the Blue Raiders look to be the cream of the crop in the SBC, and I think they'll do their conference proud and hang within the lofty amount of points they're getting this evening. They're coming off a shutout of SBC rival North Texas last week, and should come into this one confident about their showing.
That being said, Louisville has the talent on hand to literally run circles around this squad, but I highly doubt HC Petrino will put any of his studs in harms way once they build up a big enough lead. This isn't Kentucky he's playing, so I don't see him running the score up just to be a **ick like earlier this year against the Wildcats. He also doesn't want any of his starters to injure themselves in this scrimmage. Look for MTSU to compete with the 2nd and 3rd stringers, and stay within 4 tuddies of the cards.
