2. Zyekiesis Cannon

Cannon is one of those guys that have been playing pretty well for Louisville all season, but doesn’t get as much of the attention as Alexander or Harvey-Clemons. The Junior from South Carolina had to step up when the Cardinals needed a play before the half and he was able to get an interception off off Danny Etling.

It was the only turnover that the Cards forced all game, which was impressive against an LSU team that doesn’t turn the football over often.

Hopefully Cannon can continue to get better going into the offseason because Louisville needs their secondary to be at an elite-status to have an opportunity at an ACC Championship next season.
