7. vs. Louisville Cardinals

Louisville lost the most dynamic playmaker in the history of their program in Lamar Jackson last season.

Replacing Jackson just won’t be done. What he was able to do on a football field was absolutely amazing. The defense lost a lot of talent from last year, as well.

With that being said, the Cardinals will have a talented quarterback in Jawon Pass. (Which is a killer name for a QB).

Pass will have several options in Jaylen Smith, Seth Dawkins and Dez Fitzpatrick. This won’t be the same Louisville team that we’ve seen in the past few seasons, but they still have some talent to make a run and win 6-9 games.
