5. Kick Return Team

Louisville has one of the worst kick return units in the entire country, which is incredibly disappointing. Just think, if the Cards could get a couple of long returns, their offense would have even more opportunities to put points on the board. Not to mention, it would help a lot when the offense is having trouble moving the football.

Did you realize that Louisville has only 2 returns of 30 yards, zero of 40, zero of 50, zero of 60, zero of 70, zero of 80, and zero of 90. Not only have they been amazingly unproductive, but they are now coughing up the football.

The Cards need to take a long hard look at who should be returning kicks for these next two games because it would open up a completely different side of the team that would help the Cardinals be more successful.
