Brandon Radcliff has been almost non-existent over the last month for the Louisville Football team. He has struggled with fumbles and being banged up, but he still hasn’t been the running back that we were used to seeing throughout September. Again, his lack of production may not all be on him, however it’s very important that Louisville gets the ground game going against Boston College.

Radcliff hasn’t come close to the same production that he had at the beginning of the season. Over the first four games of the year, he totaled 427 rushing yards. Whereas, over the last four games, Radcliff has only been able to rush for 178 yards.

As great as Lamar Jackson has become, the Cards’ offense cannot become one-dimensional. We have learned that the offensive line cannot handle that type of pressure and that it could lead to a devastating loss.

Next: Number Four

Let’s see if Radcliff and the O-line can get the ground game going against the Eagles on Saturday.
