We’re very fortunate to have the SB Nation network of team sites to work with during game weeks. This week’s edition of our Opponent Q&A series features a chat with Card Chronicle, SBN’s Louisville blog. I sat down with CardinalStrong to discuss dashed expectations, replacing Lamar Jackson, and our old friend Uncle Rico.
TN: The Cardinals entered 2018 coming off of an 8-5 season and looking to replace a legend at quarterback. What were your expectations for this Louisville team entering the season, and what are they now?
CC: In the summer I had Louisville pegged as an 8-4 team during the regular season.
