Miami Hurricanes vs Louisville Cardinals PREVIEW, Matchups, X-Factor Players & Predictions

The Miami Hurricanes will host the 9th ranked Louisville Cardinals this Saturday at Noon for their final home game of the 2023 season. The Hurricanes turn back to Tyler Van Dyke as their starting quarterback, after true freshman Emory Williams broke his arm late in the loss to Florida State. The Hurricanes are one and a half point underdogs at home. Host Alex Donno and Locked On Louisville host Dalton Pence join forces for a crossover episode.

Donno and Pence go over the key storylines for each team. The Cardinals are one win away from clinching a spot in the ACC Championship game against Florida State. Louisville is 0-6-1 all time on the road at Miami. The Hurricanes will try to play spoiler here. Donno wonders if Miami can establish a running game against Louisville’s top 10 rushing defense. Can Rueben Bain have a big game for Miami’s pass rush? The guys break down the key matchups and offer their predictions for the final score.

Any criticism of Bane is dumb. He’s a blessing. He will lead us to the ACC championship next year.

[XavierCanesCowboy]

The Question is Who is calling the plays on Saturday.

[matchmyfly]

We have never beaten Miami in Miami but there’s a first time for everything

[Hero-lcrr]

I’m glad it’s an early game. Tired of watching prime time interceptions…

[ALEXPEAK]

he made us eat those ads face to face

I look for Miami to win this weekend. The Canes had a good game plan for FSU and kept it close. FSU just had more big plays.Will fair better at home against Louisville.
At home, the Canes have played better, except fo the GT game. The Canes should be 8-2. Shooting for 8-4 is an important goal for the Canes.

[harolddecker]

Bain has benn facing some double teams on him,

[jasonb]

Dalton is one good dude and a great representative of Louisville FB. Donno that Homer pick was terrible.

[jorgeblanco]

TVD has to rise up and represent the 305!

[darrellpaige]

I love how Mario has built this team. But if he can trust a guy that has thrown 12 ints in one season. Than I'm not sure if I can trust his judgment

[adam-thesportsguy]

Miami’s schedule is much harder this season than last. If Louisville played MiamiMs schedule this season they’d have 4 losses.

[smoothlyabrasive]

Time for the quarterback coach to get in TVD axx and stop babysitting, demand he perform .

[KatyAlmond-gbjo]

Mario will never get away from that lame, stale offense he brought from Oregon. Mario is THE problem.

[dagenius]

Just let TVD spread the field and let it rip. What do you have to lose?

[Maydaysales]

Dalton, Ruben Bain never got away. 😂 He was always a Hurricane. He never was going to Louisville.

[saveamerica]

If this team has a better QB we are for sure fighting for playoffs !

[Imperiusrexx]

I need a journalist to ask Mario this one question, what quarterback and wide receiver recruit would desire to play for a 1959 style offense? Heck Mario didn’t play for one while at Miami!Dennis Erickson’s offense was predicated on the big play (vertical passing game).

[tubeyouR]

Reason why Miami can beat Louisville…. Louisville will NOT be able to run the ball vs Miami
In Louisville 38-21 Loss @Pitt, they were 33car, 80yds, 2.4ypc
In Louisville 13-10 Win @NCST they were 29car, 20yds, 0.7ypc!! Horrendous

Miami has the best Defensive Line Louisville has seen all year (Louisville didn't play FSU or Clemson)
#6 rushing defense in Nation at 86.0 ypg
#19 Defense in yds per game allowed at 312.5 yds

Miami played @ #4 FSU (10-0) and held the Seminole Rushing attack to 31car, 57yds and 1.8ypc
The Seminoles lowest of season

[Lilroy-CanesMagic]

Dont put any money on this game, tvd back 😤. I guess Qb Jaccurri Brown cant play football, judging by what HC & OC think.

[nealb]

Oregon is 9-1 and Ranked #6 in the nation with Mario's recruits (yes, every starter on both offense and defense were recruited by him). Give the man at least 4 years. You can't compare this team to last year's. This team would beat last year's by 3 td's. We need to upgrade our WR's though IMO. We have average receivers at best.
