Louisville Football: 5 pivotal problems the Cards have to fix this season

The Cardinals have lost more fumbles that anyone in the entire country. They have lost the football on the ground 20 times this season and the closest team behind them is Virginia Tech with 14. That means Louisville has lost SIX more fumbles than any other football team in America. That is just downright embarrassing.
Whether it’s Brandon Radcliff, Lamar Jackson, or the receivers, Louisville just cannot figure out how to hold onto the football. It doesn’t matter how they play, if they keep fumbling at this rate, they won’t beat either of the two teams remaining on their schedule and we don’t even know who their bowl opponent is yet.
The even scarier thing is that the Cards have fumbled 28 total times. That means they have fumbled, at least, 2.5 times per game.
Thank goodness they recovered eight of those fumbles because this fumbling issue could have been an even bigger issue in 2016.
