4. Will the Cards take their fumbling woes down to Houston?

It became pretty clear in the Wake Forest game just how much of an issue this has become for Louisville. Not only are they one of the worst teams in the conference in turnover differential, they let Wake Forest hang around for 3 quarters because of their fumbling issues.

Case in point, if Louisville goes down to Houston and turns the football over two to three times, they are going to get beat.

Yes, the Cards’ defense played great, which held Wake Forest to 12 points on four field goals, but Louisville will lose if they do that against a team with a more established offense.

The scary things is that it’s almost become an epidemic at this point. Let’s hope they don’t take that part of there game down to Houston on Thursday night.
