3. The Cardinals should be re-focused after a close win against Duke

Okay, everyone can now take a breath and realize that the Cardinals are still the seventh ranked team in America and still in the Playoff hunt. Every team has a few close games every year, but winning those close games are what counts the most. If you lose, season over. It’s all about surviving and advancing.

However, I do think that the Cards will come out with a chip on their shoulder this weekend against NC State. They know how well the Wolfpack played against Clemson this weekend, therefore they aren’t going to be surprised to shocked by what talent NC State is bringing into Papa Johns Cardinal Stadium.

Brandon Radcliff had a bad game and he should be motivated to dominate against the ACC’s best rushing defense. Don’t be surprised if Louisville makes this a statement game and puts major points on the board Saturday.
