    I would expect Louisville to score a TD for almost every possession from here going forward... Just need Duke to kill some clock with first downs.

    I get it... you miss the violence. But you are wrong. There is SCIENCE that has proven that all of these hits add up to concussions and serious head problems later in life. If the game does not make adjustments, there will be no more football. Already there are far fewer kids playing HS football. They are doing the right thing for football fans in the long run.

    Dammit this will lead to another quick 3rd quarter TD for Louisville... +35 is not safe yet

    thats true but its true for boxing and mma also. i dont see ppl saying not to punch ppl in the head in those sports. because those sports are boring without knockouts. if you dont want concussions dont play football. they are already making football unwatchable and will turn into what baseball is now.

    I have never heard anybody serious about taking head shots out of fighting sports... that is what that sport is.

    Football is different. Very highly skilled athletes and head shots are not needed at all. We can disagree okay with me

    Actually girls soccer is likely the next sport to be taken down by concussions... PC people hate the argument, but women are different than men and their small skulls cannot handle the headballs. I used to play and never once even was fazed by a headball... women are different.

    I was joking about refs being paid... BUT if they are being paid for a Louisville cover they are about to get some legs broken

    haha you have to be older guy but trust me i get and understand the grittiness of football has went down but its a new day and age man we want less injuries so the superstars can continue to do business and entertain.. cause thats all it is, is entertainment.. without any firm guidelines every superstar of the NFL would be on injury report. its not good for them, the team, the NFL as a whole lol but lets disregard all of that right? theres still rugby?

    Remember Duke also upset ND on the road a few weeks ago. I know ND is having a down year but that is not the point. This Duke team is pretty good, and they seem to step it up for primetime national TV.

    The reason I did is because I've seen things like that happen in the past. You get a low-scoring 1st half only to have it break loose in the 2nd half and go over. This is especially true of Louisville which lead the nation in scoring.

    I don't know why you would say that... I watched BYU make Michigan St look bad in East Lansing... BYU is an underrated team a bit like Duke

    i know why i would say it. cause ive watched enough BYU football to know they have a hard time covering as decent size favorites.. dont get me wrong, they are GREAT as dogs, but not TD favorites. they are a great team but dont think this will be a walk in the park for BYU. miss state isnt as bad as they looked against auburn..

    miss state -2.5 live line looks interesting.. this line from the beginning should have been BYU -3. BYU at -7 was just a little too much period.
