Game Preview and Prediction
After going over where and how you can watch or listen to the action, let‘s get into the game itself and what you can expect from this heated ACC matchup.
The Boston College Eagles roll into the game with loads of momentum after their thrilling come-from-behind 20-14 upset victory on the road over #10 Clemson last week. Led by junior quarterback Phil Jurkovec, who threw for 300+ yards and 2 touchdowns, the Eagles overcame an early 14-point deficit to stun the Tigers in Death Valley.
The Louisville Cardinals enter the game rested after a much-needed bye week following their 24-10 home loss to Clemson two weeks ago. Dual threat QB Malik Cunningham leads the Cardinals offense with both his arm (1,552 passing yards, 12 TD) and legs (472 rushing yards, 13 TD).
Looking at the stats, both Boston College (6-3, 2-3 ACC) and Louisville (6-3, 3-3 ACC) boast top 35 scoring offenses, averaging over 30 points per game each. However, the Eagles have the defensive edge, ranking 27th nationally allowing just 21.1 points per game.
In what should be an exciting offensive shootout, I believe Boston College‘s standout defense will ultimately make more clutch stops down the stretch to outlast Louisville. The Eagles seem to have all the momentum coming off the program-defining win over Clemson.
Prediction: Boston College wins 34-30
With two talented quarterbacks leading high-powered offenses, this ACC Atlantic division clash has all the makings of an instant classic. I hope this guide gives you everything you need to easily tune in to the game on TV or streaming and witness one of college football‘s best new rivalries!
