Game 12: Louisville

Need to make this quick.

You know what's on the line tonight. It's the defacto Big East championship game. Winner goes to a BCS bowl.

Rutgers on Offense
They need to trust Gary Nova and stop being so conservative. Jawan Jamison should be fully healthy today, and he and Huggins should both get double digit carries against Louisville's poor run defense. It would be nice to come out throwing early to get a lead and then run latter, but who knows what mode Brock will be in tonight.

Rutgers on Defense
The Scarlet Knights need to get pressure on Bridgewater. He has a bum ankle, so force him out of the pocket, where he shouldn't be as effective. Louisville runs the ball up the gut well, so they need to hold double teams on the line and allow the linebackers to make plays.

It's also worth mentioning that Louisville doesn't exactly play great special teams so Rutgers should take advantage of that.

Prediction Louisville 13 Rutgers 17
The stars are aligned for a Rutgers win. No excuses, just do it!
