Louisville Football: 5 crucial questions for the Cards vs. Houston
By Derek Snyder
We take a look at five different, very important questions surrounding the Louisville football team going into their game against Houston.

There are still a few things that need to fall into place, but it’s still very likely to happen.
One of Louisville’s big non-conference games this season was supposed to be Houston. All was great and well until the Cougars lost two games in the middle of the season, which shot them out of the top 25 completely. As Houston’s season went down the drain, so did Louisville’s strength of schedule.
Yes, we can all say it out loud: “Thanks a lot Houston”.
What the National media doesn’t want to recognize is that the Cougars are still 8-2 and play very well at home. Regardless of if this Houston team is rated or not, this will be a game where Louisville needs to come in focused or they will be sorry.

At the same time, if the only team that could beat Louisville when they turn the ball over at least three times is Clemson, then the Cards are in great shape.
