Notes
- Aside from an opening week loss at South Carolina, the Golden Eagles lost three games by a total of 8 points
- This will be a homecoming of sorts for Louisville head coach Charlie Strong. Can he impress the Florida brass to offer him the job?
- Southern Miss scored 30 or more points in all but two games this year
- Louisville only allowed two teams to score more than 24 points against them all year
- Louisville runs the ball well while Southern Miss stops the run
- Southern Miss throws the ball well while Louisville stops the pass
