To match the big play of the Louisville offense Miami is going to have to continue making big plays of their own in the passing game. The Hurricanes routinely hit on big plays last week. Jeff Thomas and Dee Wiggins should continue to be included in the passing game. Miami could be without tight end Brevin Jordan.

Louisville will not be limited much by injury. Pass was the starting QB, but he struggled early in the season. Smith and Creque have not played this season. Miami is much more limited by injuries than Louisville would be. Jordan is expected to be out on Saturday and Miami lost safety Bubba Bolden for the season against Florida State.
