The Wolverines rely on running back De’Veon Smith, who is averaging 6.6 yards per carry and quarterback William Speight has been getting better throughout the season. That’s going to be an interesting matchup to watch considering Michigan had 326 rushing yards in last week’s win against Penn State. The Badgers are especially good against the run, allowing just 80.5 yards per game. Watt, who has a team-leading 4 1/2 sacks and his 18 tackles rank second behind inside linebacker Jack Cinchy. They are led by junior outside linebacker T.J. That will change this weekend with the Badgers, who rank seventh nationally in scoring defense (11.8 points per game) and 12th in total defense (277.0 yards per game). The Badgers are double-digit underdogs heading into the Big House on Saturday against a Michigan team that is averaging 52 points per game, but hasn’t yet played one of the nation’s top defenses. Wisconsin might be the most underrated team in the Top 10 despite its 4-0 record and its dismantling of Michigan State last weekend. If the Clemson offense can’t keep pace, it’s going to be a long day for the Tigers. While Jackson’s passing percentage (58.7) isn’t great, he is averaging 131.50 yards on the ground and overall, the Louisville rushing offense is averaging 318.3 yards. Jackson is easily the most dynamic player in college football right now and behind him Louisville leads the nation in total offense (682 yards per game), scoring offense (63.5) and first downs (125). The Clemson defense will be the best Louisville has faced this year, so don’t expect a blowout, but it’s also not going to keep quarterback Lamar Jackson off the board. The Tigers’ offensive woes spell trouble, especially against a Louisville team that has shown it has no trouble scoring. The Clemson running game, which was so good in the playoffs last season, is averaging just 159.5 yards per game and star running back Wayne Gallman is averaging just 64 yards per game. ![]() Quarterback Deshaun Watson is averaging just 3.17 yards per rush and his 249 passing yards per game is nearly 30 yards less than a year ago. 5 nationally in scoring defense (11.0) - the offense has been uneven. 3 in the country in total defense (218.5) and No. While the defense has been playing lights out - it ranks No. Moreover, it puts the Cardinals in prime position to earn one of the coveted four spots in the College Football Playoff.Ĭlemson hasn’t rekindled much of the magic it had during its run to the national title game last year. If it defeats Clemson, it’s going to be difficult for either the Tigers or Florida State to claim the ACC Atlantic title. This game represents Louisville’s chance to step on the throat of the ACC Atlantic. Here’s what to watch heading into Week 5: The college football season has not yet disappointed in 2016 and this won’t be the week it happens either. ![]()
