Since Lousiville’s opponent this week is FCS Murray State there is no way to adequately do a stat comparison. So this week, 33.3% complete in the season let’s take a look at how the Cards look against themselves over the past 15 seasons (sometimes 10) statistically.
There are some standout performances: Most yards per game in 15 seasons, most first downs per game, most tackles for loss, and kicks blocked. And there are some not so great metrics thus far as well: Scoring Defense, Total Defense, Passing Defense, Opponent First Downs, and Opponent Red Zone conversions.
