This year's offense should improve on their numbers provided quarterback Brian Brohm can keep his knee in good shape. The defense's front line will lose two key players, but it brings back it's back seven almost untouched, which should make the defense better overall in 2006. The kicking department looks in good shape as well, as they bring back Kart Carmody and punter Todd Flannery for their junior year.
The Louisville Cardinals have a sweet schedule which has them set up to compete for a major BCS Bowl and a Big East Championship. All their road games are winnable and they welcome Miami, West Virginia and South Florida for their home games. With Head Coach Bobby Petrino, who has been publicized as one of the best in the country, look for the Louisville Cardinals to be very competitive in the Big East this year.
