Clev Lubin - DL
Clev Lubin has been an absolute menace this season and is one of the main reasons the team is 4-1. The secondary deserves credit, but Lubin and his defensive line have been working hard all season. Louisville has 14 sacks on the year, the third-most in the conference.
Lubin has four sacks and a forced fumble this season. His ability to generate pressure has caused havoc for opposing offenses. Louisville also ranks among the top 15 in red-zone defense, and Lubin deserves much of the credit for that. He’s just a junior, so Cardinals fans may be lucky to see him in action again next season. Lubin should continue his dominant play this season and bring the energy to this defense.
Between Quinn, Hutchinson, and Lubin, this Louisville defense is special. They can dominate and carry the team to a deep postseason run. Look for these players to make a statement against the Hurricanes in the Cardinals’ next matchup. If Louisville has any chance to pull off an upset in Miami, this defensive big three will need to step up and perform as they have all season.
