Perhaps the most disappointing part of a down 2018 season for Louisville football was the defensive line. How the Cards could see immediate improvement from their guys up front.

There’s not much positive to take away from the 2018 Louisville football season- particularly on defense and along the defensive line. However, with every new start comes a chance at redemption.

Though the Cards lose defensive linemen Jon Greenard and Michael Boykin to transfer, they spent much of last season without Boykin and the would-be Senior Greenard sat out the entire season after being injured on the first drive of the game against Alabama.

Louisville brings back a talented young core of players and will bring in some new talent to help supplement their losses in the offseason.

Now, heading into 2019, the Cards could have the ability to have a massive break-out season from their defensive front.

We break down the weapons in head coach Scott Satterfield’s arsenal and what the game plan will be for this Louisville squad.
