1. Keyjuan Brown, RB
Keyjuan Brown will be looked upon to fill the big shoes of Isaac Brown this week against California. Although he’s been in Isaac’s shadow, Keyjuan has proven he’s ready for the moment.
Keyjuan has 321 rushing yards this year to go along with six rushing touchdowns. He averages 6.2 yards per carry and has yet to fumble the ball this year. Keyjuan stepped up when Isaac left the Virginia Tech game with a leg injury, as he had 94 yards on 12 carries along with two rushing touchdowns. Even more pressure will be on Keyjuan this week as the Cardinals' ACC championship hopes are in the balance every game.
Louisville has said Duke Watts is hopeful to play this week to help in the rushing attack, but with his previous nagging injuries, the Cardinals will be looking at Keyjuan to get the job done. If he is able to step up and fill Isaac's place, this week will be no problem for the Cardinals.
