In the running game, two guys have led the way. Henry Parrish Jr and Donald Chaney Jr have been the primary backs. Parrish comes into the game with 472 yards of the year and four scores. Meanwhile, Chaney has 464 yards and two scores. due to injuries in the backfield, this has been truly a committee approach. Beyond those two, Mark Fletcher Jr. comes in with 343 yards in six games with two scores. Then, Ajay Allen has 282 yards and four scores in seven games. None of the top four backs have played in every game this year, but all four of them have over four yards per carry this year.

Final Louisville-Miami Prediction & Pick

At the time of writing, lines are all over the place for this game. Fan Duel is favoring Louisville, while other books will give you 1.5 points for Louisville. Some books have made this a pick'em. The big difference is Jack Plummer and Tyler Van Dyke. Plummer is a solid quarterback playing against a bad pass defense. Van Dyke was recently benched for turnovers, playing against a defense that creates turnovers. Miami has just two conference wins, with both of them requiring overtime. Louisville will not let this game get to overtime.
