Louisville shocked Notre Dame last season, but this year the showdown is in South Bend. What are the 5 things you need to know about the Cardinals?
After a 4-0 start last year and a good fight in a painful loss to Ohio State, the Irish pulled off a miraculous comeback over Duke to get back on track as momentum was building for the showdown against USC. First, they had to get by Louisville.
What are 5 things Irish fans need to know about this year's Louisville team? Louisville was able to dominate the time of possession battle throughout last season, keeing the ball for over 32 minutes per game and owning the tempo on a regular basis. The offense was on the field almost four minutes more than Notre Dame's was.
Last year the the Irish defensive front wasn't bad in the loss, but it allowed 194 yards and 4.6 yards per carry. The Cardinal passing attack should be even better than the 2023 version, but it's still about running well to pull this off. Louisville was 9-1 when running for 4.6 yards or more, and 1-3 when it didn't.Along with the pass rush that gave Notre Dame so many problems last season, the rest of the Louisville defense will be terrific, too.
