We take a look at the ten best players that the Louisville football team faced on their 2016 schedule.

The 2016 season for the Louisville football team had it’s ups and downs, but at the end of the day, we all should be pleased with their progress. National Champions aren’t born overnight, but apparently Heisman Trophy winners are.

Lamar Jackson wasn’t the only great player in the ACC this season, as the Cards face many unbelievable football players.

Here are the ten best players Louisville faced in 2016:

10. Wayne Gallman | Running Back | Clemson

Just writing about this guy brings up some bad memories. With that being said, I am glad at Wayne Gallman decided to declare for the NFL Draft this season. While Louisville is great at stopping the run, Gallman ran all over the Cardinals in their match-up.

He rushed for 110 yards and one touchdown against the Cards and finished fourth in the conference with 15 rushing touchdowns.

If Clemson wants to win the National Championship, then Wayne Gallman needs to play two incredible football games over Ohio State and presumably Alabama.

Deshaun Watson cannot do it alone, therefore Gallman must play like he did against Louisville in October.
