Earlier this week we predicted the 2019 Louisville football offensive MVP, but who will be the x-factor for Scott Satterfield and Dwayne Ledford on offense?

After predicting the offensive MVP for Louisville football in 2019 we continue our series onward, this time looking at the biggest x-factors for success under Scott Satterfield.

With so many offensive weapons returning, both at the skill position and upfront, there are plenty of players flying “under the radar.” While these guys may not be the ones who produce at an All-ACC level, their contributions to the offense will be meaningful and could go a long way in determining how successful the new-look offense will be.

We know about guys like Jawon Pass, Dez Fitzpatrick, Mekhi Becton, and Hassan Hall, who will be critical to the performance of the offense but what about some of the guys who are either lower on the depth chart or will have less-significant roles?

Don’t get me wrong, that by no means indicates that the four players we’ll include on this list will be backups or play insignificant roles. In fact, quite the contrary.

What these players bring to the table will be of uber importance when it comes to pushing Louisville over the top and overachieving in a year where things look bleak.

Without further ado, let’s look at the four players who have the chance of being the Cards biggest x-factor on offense in 2019.
