2. The Cardinals dominant edge rushers
Louisville's defensive line has been one of the best in the nation. The Cardinals are currently being led by their two edge rushers in Clev Lubin and AJ Green, and these two are poised for a breakout game against the Cavaliers.
Through four games, no one can slow Lubin down, as he leads the nation in multiple categories. Pro Football Focus revealed that the Coastal Carolina transfer's 93.5 pass-rushing grade and 28.4 pressure rate lead the nation, and Green's 23.9 percent pressure rate is No. 8 in the country.
While Chandler Morris' statistics suggest he performs well under pressure, he has not faced pressure or taken hits like he will on Saturday. Expect a big day on Saturday from the Cardinals' edge rushers and to force Virginia to make uncharacteristic mistakes. Louisville's defensive line is going to be a huge X-factor Saturday, and Lubin and Green will have statement games.
