Louisville isn’t 100 percent with Snider out and I think that is what will make the difference. While Louisville plays good defense, I don’t think the Cardinals will be able to keep FSU in check on the road. FSU has an offense that can be tough to stop and Louisville doesn’t have the horses to match.
