Can you believe it? We are actually making predictions for LU first game! So thankful for one of the small blessings in life aka LU football.

Tie-breaker is: How many sacks will we have? P.S. Louisville only had 3 sacks.

WKU - 27

LU - 30

3 sacks

[thepostman]

It is nice to have these back.

WKU 30
LU 24

4 sacks

[Jonathan Carone]

The spread for the game is WKU -14.

[thepostman]

Yeah, we lose but not by 2 TD's

[cruzan_flame13]

As I stated in another thread, we don't tackle much during fall camp, so this might be rough to watch the team play against (WKU). I hope we will not look like Navy against BYU.

[sstaedtler]

Western Kentucky 24, Liberty 14.

I just don't think our offense is ready for this type of defensive challenge, especially with our losses from last year and breaking in a new quarterback.

2 sacks. Their QB is elusive.

[Jonathan Carone]

Given our injuries, how bad tackling has been for teams in their first game, a first game QB, and so many new pieces, I think WKU covers.

[chris leedlelee]

Liberty 31

WKU 28

2 Sacks

I see Willis surprising many people and being the X Factor.

24-20, LU. 1 Sack.

[rtb72]

30-13 WKU
0 sacks

[CinciFlame]

35-14 WKY. We have way to many unknowns at this point. WKY already has game experience after playing a better than average Louisville team. Hope I'm wrong.

[Chippy]

WKU 23
LU 13

1 sack

[tyndal23]

LU 17-16 ( WKU kicks a field goal to make it 16-10 with under 5 to play and Shedro takes the kickoff to the house and we force a turnover right before they get to range.
1 sack ( 2 more very close because QB just makes it to LOC on keepers but they don’t rule a sack ). Fan boy - now for the Adult In me betting the under. ( and staying away from anything else ).

[CCWMichael]

I want to pick LU

Hilltoppers are game prepared. This alone can hurt us especially the defensive aspect on both sides. Offensively this would be easier for us to overcome.
I am not sold on our secondary. I know linebacker is our concern but wee lost some playing time experience in our system there.
QB wise as for mobility we are on. passing is an unknown.
I seriously think we are fairly strong at receiver and tight ends.
Our Lines on both sides will work. How quickly will they jell? I was impressed with how the coaches on both sides improved performance so I think in a perfect world we can win this is all goes right. but, we have not played yet. Experience of force and pain goes a long way.
Kicking? No spring practice to watch these guys warm up. Based on last year I am not confident.
Special teams our guys cover well. Our returns we have a shot.
Most would call a win by Liberty an upset but I think our coaching and team mindset will be ready for game 1.
Liberty shot at a major bowl starts here.
Hilltoppers turn it over 3 times and we win 31-30.
Sacks 2

[ballcoach15]

We have game film on WKU. They have no current film on us. They have a game in the books, hopefully things balance out.

[LU 57]

LU 24 WK 20
4 sacks
I am an unapologetic homer.

[prototype]

WKU- 31
LU - 18

First game with a lot of new faces, against a pretty good WKU team. Hope I'm wrong....
