The current odds favor the Louisville Cardinals significantly, marking them as the heavy favorites with a -10.5 spread. This implies high expectations for Louisville to win and cover the spread by at least 11 points. The total set 57.5 suggests a high-scoring affair, likely dominated by offensive plays.
Haynes King QB vs. Tyler Shough QB
Georgia Tech quarterback Haynes King was pivotal to their success early on, completing 76.4% of his passes and 962 passing yards in four games. With a passer rating of 169, he demonstrates intelligence in the field, which allows him to digest any complex strategy. King has 6 touchdown against a single interception show a blend of accuracy and risk management that could challenge Louisville’s defense.
In contrast, Tyler Shough of Louisville had delivered in-game performance rather efficiently which is supported by his passer rating of 188.8. Completing 68.4% of his passes with 581 passing yards over the course of two games, and with the longest completed pass being 51 yards, Shough’s strategic play making and a mix of precision and deep throw ability make him a tough opponent. He has handled the ball and graced all games without recording any interceptions.
With these two quarterbacks set to take to the field, the atmosphere of the match rests on how best each of them can control their cool and aim well. Both have already proved they can rally their teams to score points, but the bottom line is how flexible and composed they will be, and more mindful in the moments of the game when it matters.
Georgia Tech’s Ground and Air Assault
Georgia Tech’s offense has shown versatility, with Jamal Haynes shining in the rushing department. Accumulating 213 yards over 46 carries, his agility and ability to find gaps in defenses have been key.

This duo’s ability to execute on the ground and through the air will be crucial in breaking down Louisville’s defensive strategies.
Louisville’s Tactical Offensive Play
Louisville counters with Isaac Brown, whose explosive 12.8 yards per rush highlight his breakaway speed and big-play ability. Coupled with Ja’Corey Brooks, who has gathered 172 receiving yards, Louisville’s offense is not lacking in weapons. Their strategy will likely revolve around exploiting their speed and precision to outpace the defensive setups of Georgia Tech.
