Ep 85. Houston at Louisville

  • November 16, 2013

In season 16 episode 85 of ESPN College Football Thursday Primetime, Houston takes on Louisville in what is sure to be a thrilling matchup.

Both teams feature explosive offenses, with Houston averaging over 40 points per game and Louisville not far behind with almost 35 points per game. On the defensive side of the ball, Houston has been particularly strong, boasting the best red zone defense in the country and a top 10 ranking in total defense.

Houston is led by star quarterback D'Eriq King, who has been putting up video game-like numbers all season long. He has thrown for over 2,000 yards and 20 touchdowns while also rushing for over 300 yards and six touchdowns. His favorite target is wide receiver Marquez Stevenson, who has over 800 yards receiving and eight touchdowns.

Louisville, meanwhile, is led by quarterback Micale Cunningham, who has thrown for over 1,500 yards and 13 touchdowns. He has also been a threat on the ground, rushing for over 300 yards and six touchdowns. Running back Javian Hawkins has been the workhorse for the Cardinals, rushing for over 800 yards and six touchdowns.

This game has significant implications for both teams. Houston is currently atop the American Athletic Conference standings and is in the driver's seat to win the championship. Louisville, on the other hand, is looking to rebound from a tough loss to Miami and keep their hopes of a bowl game alive.

The key to the game will likely be which defense can make the most stops. Both offenses are incredibly potent and have the ability to score on any given play. If Houston can continue their dominance on defense and force some turnovers, they should be in good shape. Louisville will need to find a way to slow down King and the Houston offense, as well as get their own offense firing on all cylinders.

Overall, this should be a highly entertaining game between two talented teams. Tune in to ESPN College Football Thursday Primetime to catch all the action!
