Louisville Cardinals focus on performance ahead of matchup against NC State

Summary

The Louisville Cardinals, under head coach Jeff Brohm, have secured at least nine wins in each of the last three seasons and are preparing for a game against NC State. Despite recent struggles on the offensive line and less effective play from quarterback Lincoln Kienholz early in the season, Louisville's offense remains one of the most explosive in college football. As they confront a similarly challenged NC State defense, both teams will look to address their inconsistency. Louisville has been fortunate with ball security, turning the ball over only once so far this season.
