CBS Sports: Louisville vs. Michigan (Orange Bowl)

CBS Sports has the Cardinals facing the Michigan Wolverines in the Orange Bowl and this would easily be one of the toughest match-ups for Louisville. The loss to Houston has definitely cast a cloud of doubt over the Cardinals’ ability to play high-level football, but most of that concern is over the offensive line.

Michigan has the best defense in the country, even above the Alabama Crimson Tide. While they have given up the least amount of passing yards, they rank outside of the top ten in rushing yards allowed.

Where they will test the Cardinals is with their ability to get to the quarterback. They are tied for 8th in the country in sacks with 36. Louisville’s offensive line must find a way to improve before they potentially face the Wolverines next month.
