Memories from last Friday night’s game will live on not only for the rest of this season, but for the rest of the Louisville football program’s existence. Alas, the excitement was shared by all the Louisville football fans, and now the No. 19 Louisville Cardinals shift their focus to their next opponent. The Cardinals return to action Saturday night, back at L&N Stadium, hosting the Boston College Eagles.

Cards fans are hoping that coach Jeff Brohm has his team back, laser-focused against the Eagles, with eyes solely on the preseason team goals still within reach. Although Boston College is not an opponent Louisville should have any trouble with, this is the ACC, and anything can happen on any given Saturday.

Here are five Louisville Cardinals who need to elevate their game against Boston College to avoid a devastating upset from the Eagles.
