Louisville was already facing a tall task on Saturday with Virginia Tech coming to town. Now the Cardinals will have to try and take down the Hokies without a healthy chunk of their defensive production.
According to a release from U of L, the Cardinals will be without the following players on Saturday:
DL Micah Bland
DL Ja’Darien Boykin
DL Malik Clark
DL Yaya Diaby
P Ryan Harwell
S Isaiah Hayes
DL Dayna Kinnaird
LB Monty Montgomery
DL Tabarius Peterson
Though the release gives no reason for the absences, a source with the team did confirm to Card Chronicle that they are Covid-19 related.
Well, time for some other guys to step up. Also, the offense is going to have to be every bit as good as it was against Florida State, if not better.
