The Georgia Bulldogs and Louisville Cardinals are playing live on the NCAA college football bowl schedule on Tuesday in the Belk Bowl from Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte and the matchup on ESPN is streaming online from the WatchESPN website starting at 6:30 pm ET as the SEC and ACC schools battle in the postseason as ranked teams in the top 25 rankings.
The Bulldogs come into the game after a loss against Georgia Tech and they now have number 21 Louisville after finishing the season 9-3. Both teams are 9-3 this season and the number 13 Bulldogs went 6-2 in the SEC, while Louisville went 5-2 in their conference this year. The Bulldogs went 4-2 against their division and they had to do it mostly without Todd Gurley, who was a Heisman candidate before getting injured and suspended for his autograph issues with the NCAA.
The loss of Gurley allowed freshman running back Nick Chubb to step up and he comes in with 1281 yards on the season and 14 total touchdowns, including 12 on the ground. Chubb played well against Arkansas and had over 200 yards in that matchup and now he joins with Hutson Mason to get things going on Monday. Mason comes in after an up and down season and he now has over 2000 yards and 20 touchdowns and is matching up with one of the better defenses in the nation.
The Cardinals come in ranked number 19 in the nation in points against with 20 allowed per game and they have been scoring over 30 points per contest this season. Both of these teams come into the game with nine wins and they are both looking to get to double digits. Georgia had a strong season stat wise, but they ended up losing two of the five matchups they had against the top 25 and now they have another big test to end the season.
The team ranked eighth in the nation during the regular season with over 40 points scored per game and that is what Louisville will need to focus on stopping the mist. The defense was also very solid, going for 21 points allowed to rank in the top 25 in the nation. The team was 13th overall in rushing yards per game with over 250 yards per contest and they were just under 200 yards passing per game.
The Bulldogs come in after losing in overtime to the Yellow jackets and now they are looking to bounce back to end the season. The team had won three games in a row before that, including a win over number nine Auburn. Earlier in the season the team won over Mizzou with a shutout when they were ranked in the top 25 and they also won over Clemson. Louisville comes in after a win against Kentucky and they now have the Bulldogs and have won three straight to end the season.
