2. Miller Moss, QB

The Louisville quarterback has put on a masterclass from under center this year. Moss has thrown for 1,929 yards and 11 touchdowns on the year. He is a problem for opposing defenses on the ground as well, as he has rushed for six touchdowns. Meaning, for the 30 touchdowns the Cardinals have scored this year, Moss has had a hand in 18 of them. 

Without Isaac Brown, the Cardinal offense might face some issues moving the ball, which is why Moss will have to be even more effective than usual Saturday night. Finding receivers like Chris Bell and Caullin Lacy early in the game will be crucial for the Cardinal offense. 

Moss will also have to take care of the ball to make sure the Golden Bears don’t get any extra possessions. He’s only thrown six interceptions on the year, and it would benefit Louisville if that number stays the same this week. If it can, the Cardinals will be in good shape in this bout.
