3. Will the Cardinals contain Kyron Drones?

Virginia Tech quarterback Kyron Drones can take over a game if you let him. Drones has 1,516 passing yards on the year and 14 passing touchdowns. He can find the open man as eight different players have caught a touchdown pass from him.

Drones is not just a threat in the sky, but on the ground as well. Even with the 144 yards Drones has lost due to sacks, the quarterback still has 414 rushing yards and has even rushed for seven touchdowns. This makes him the team's second leading rusher, and he easily leads the team in rushing touchdowns. 

The Cardinals can cause commotion for Drones as he has thrown six interceptions this year and has been sacked 20 times. Louisville will have to pressure him early if they want to contain him and not let him settle into the game.
