2. Falling - Offensive Line

It is hard to pick one player in this group, so this is going to be a position as a whole. The Cardinals' offensive line is the one area the Cardinals fans have a lot of questions about after two weeks of football. The Cardinals gave up three sacks on Friday night and were overwhelmed by the Dukes all night.

Jeff Brohm stated he has to do a better job of coaching and that the Dukes' blitz package caused mayhem for the Cardinals' offensive line, but this group as a whole has been underwhelming throughout the first two weeks. Louisville has a lot of time to improve, and while a Week 3 bye week isn't ideal, it might be crucial for this position group to regroup and make adjustments.

The Cardinals are expecting teams to blitz more after JMU gave the ACC how to cause problems for this offense, so now this line has to adjust and improve the protection moving forward.
