Bridgewater has been playing very well this season and he already has 1872 yards passing and 18 touchdowns with just two intentions and he has had only six sacks this season. Bridgewater has been very accurate this season, completing over 70 percent of his passes and he only been under that number in two games this season. Bridgewater opened the season with a five touchdown game against Ohio that saw him go for 355 yards passing and after tossing one pick in that game, he did not have another interception until the Rutgers game last week.
Bridgewater has had at least four touchdown passes in three games this season and he has only had one game without throwing multiple TDs and he should be in line for another big game on Friday. Bridgewater has passed for eight touchdown and one pick over the past three weeks and now he will take on a UCF team that is 4-1 on the season.
Louisville will play on the road for two games against South Florida and UConn after the UCF game and then they will play home against Houston. The team then plays Memphis and Cincinnati and that game could be is what between an undefeated season for Louisville and the disappointment of losing one game. Going undefeated is their only ticket to the BCS, as they have now faced a ranked opponent this season and playing in the Big East has not done them any favors when being compared to other conferences.
