No. 4 Notre Dame football returns to the gridiron to take on the struggling Louisville Cardinals.

Choosing three defenders for Notre Dame football fans to watch on a Louisville defense that allows 34.3 points per game is akin to selecting which vegetable tastes the best. None are great options but, alas, a few need to be picked.

The Cardinals currently rank 62nd out of 76 teams playing in the Football Bowl Subdivision. Against ACC opponents, they are yielding 38.7 points per contest.
