LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) Almost overlooked in the attention over Louisville coach Bobby Petrino's choice of three quarterback options are the several new faces the Cardinals will start on both sides of the ball.
Ten Louisville players were in last spring's NFL draft, including leading receiver DeVante Parker, All-American safety Gerod Holliman and pass rusher Lorenzo Mauldin. Overall, the Cardinals lost more than two dozen upperclassmen from a 9-4 squad that lost 37-14 to Georgia in the Belk Bowl.
