UofL has one of the best defenses in the country but over the last two weeks, they’ve really struggled to slow down the passing game of Virginia and Miami. UVA started their true freshman backup and though he has a bright future ahead of him, he had not played well coming into that game. Tyler Van Dyke hadn’t thrown a touchdown pass in a month before Louisville got him back on track.
The Cards have allowed more quarterbacks to have good games against them than not but in the middle of the season when the defense started to gain its footing, they shut down the opposing quarterbacks.
