Preview: Louisville at Wake Forest

When: 7:00 PM ET, Friday, October 30, 2015
Where: BB&T Field, Winston-Salem,

North Carolina Bobby Petrino has presided over some outstanding offenses during his coaching career, but the 2015 edition of his Louisville offense isn't one of them. "Right now on offense, we're not very good," Petrino admitted to the media this week in advance of Friday's road matchup against Wake Forest. The Cardinals start a freshman at quarterback and both offensive tackle positions, not to mention freshmen and first-year transfers throughout their wide receiver depth chart. "It's exciting to think about what we'll have here in the next three years with all the freshmen that we're playing right now, and redshirt freshmen," Petrino said. "They’re learning how to play faster, learning how to play against great competition. I think in the years to come, we should get back and be a very good offense." Of course, all that youth won't help Louisville much against a Wake Forest team that has lost four of its last five games. Since squeaking out a 3-0 win against Boston College earlier this month, the Demon Deacons have been outscored 85-31 over their last two outings.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPN2. LINE: Louisville -11.5

ABOUT LOUISVILLE (3-4, 2-2 ACC): The Cardinals have scored more than 24 points only twice this season but have been solid defensively, capped by a 17-14 triumph against Boston College last week in which they allowed a total of 79 yards and recorded a season-high eight sacks. Louisville overcame a lethargic offensive attack that featured two interceptions by quarterback Lamar Jackson and a 2.8 yards-per-carry average as a team. Jamari Staples continues to work his way back from a groin injury and will look to build off a career-high 96 receiving yards against Boston College.

ABOUT WAKE FOREST (3-5, 1-4): The Demon Deacons plan to play two quarterbacks against Louisville - sophomore John Wolford, who is more of a pocket passer, and freshman Kendall Hinton, who sparked the team last week with 75 rushing yards and two scores. That said, Wake Forest still lost that game to North Carolina State, 35-17, as the team was outscored 28-0 in the first quarter and never recovered. The Demon Deacons average only 3.3 yards per rush with Hinton (six) and Wolford (two) combining for all but one of the team's touchdowns on the ground.

EXTRA POINTS 1. Jackson's six rushing touchdowns are the most by a Louisville quarterback since Dave Ragone had six in 2000.
2. Petrino is 7-0 all-time on Fridays as Louisville head coach.
3. This is the Demon Deacons' first Friday home game since 1967.

[h=1]Preview: East Carolina at Connecticut[/h]When: 7:00 PM ET, Friday, October 30, 2015
Where: Rentschler Field, East Hartford, Connecticut


After losing five of its last six games, Connecticut tries to turn around its sinking season when it hosts East Carolina in an AAC matchup on Friday. The Huskies, who rank 116th in the nation with an average of just 19 points per game, expect to have quarterback Bryant Shirreffs under center after the first-year starter took a physical beating in last week's loss to Cincinnati.

The Pirates nearly upset No. 22 Temple last week but surrendered 14 points in the fourth quarter en route to a 24-14 defeat. East Carolina needs two more wins to earn its eighth bowl bid in the last nine years. The Pirates had scored at least 30 points in four straight games prior to its loss to Temple. They can expect to get back on track this week against UConn's defense, which has allowed over 1,000 yards in its last two contests.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPNU. LINE: East Carolina - 7.5

ABOUT EAST CAROLINA (4-4, 2-2 AAC): Blake Kemp (11 touchdowns, seven interceptions) completed 31-of-48 passes last week for 272 yards in a game in which the Pirates led with six minutes remaining. Receiver Isaiah Jones ranks fifth in the nation with 61 receptions that have resulted in 701 yards and three scores. The Pirates threw the ball 64 times in last year's 31-21 win over the Huskies.

ABOUT UCONN (3-5, 1-3): Shirreffs left last week's 37-13 loss to the Bearcats in favor of backup Tim Boyle after taking several big hits. He finished with a season-worst 12-of-27 passing effort for just 87 yards while running 17 times for 90 yards. But coach Bib Diaco still is remaining positive, saying: "We're so close, and 3-5 and could easily be 5-3, dare I say 6-2."

EXTRA POINTS

1. The Pirates' four losses this year have been to teams that currently sport a combined record of 24-4 - Florida (6-1), Navy (5-1), BYU (6-2) and Temple (7-0).

2. UConn RB Arkeel Newsome is averaging 134.2 all-purpose yards.

3. East Carolina did not record a sack last week against Temple but notched 16 in its previous three games.
