In lieu of our usual Five Keys, I would recommend reading the Q&A's we did earlier this week with The Collision Course and Card Chronicle, which should make the keys to winning pretty clear. I'd also add something I mentioned to the Collision Course when I answered their questions. Louisville has had trouble scoring in the red zone this season, while the Bulls have only allowed 10 touchdowns on 25 red-zone trips by opponents -- one of the best ratios in the FBS. Getting out of drives with field goals is big on the road.
Win this game and catch a break in Piscataway later today, and the path to a Big East title gets a lot cleaner for USF. Go Bulls!
