The Louisville Cardinals are coming to Kenan Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 14, for a primetime showdown against North Carolina.

This isn't necessarily a game that will impact the ACC Championship game picture, but the Cardinals are indeed 5-2 in conference play.

Louisville is riding a four-game winning streak while UNC just got back on track with a decisive 38-21 win against UConn.

Prior to that point, the Tar Heels were 2-4 in their last six games.  

Louisville has been the exact opposite as they started 2-3 but managed to fire off four consecutive wins.

Sure, none of those are against ranked opponents, but the Cardinals have a red-hot offense and haven't allowed more than 26 points in a game since Saturday, Oct. 3.

Sitting at 5-4 overall, Bill Belichick can taste his first bowl game at UNC, but getting the job done on Saturday is going to be far easier said than done.

Cardinals quarterback Lincoln Kienholz has thrown for 300+ yards on four separate occasions this season. He's thrown 14 touchdowns to just three interceptions and is 17th in all of college football with his 2,276 passing yards.

If that's not impressive enough, he has led the team in rushing three times this season. In fact, Kienholz was the team's leading rusher in two of their last three games.

On Saturday, Oct. 17, the junior threw for 310 yards against Syracuse and ran for another 53. 

He's accounting for such a large percentage of this team's yardage, it feels like the ultimate key to victory is to stop Kienholz.

That said, running back Isaac Brown is no one to be messed with. The fellow junior has had his fair share of moments this season, including a 235-yard game against Florida State.

Brown has four games this season with 100+ yards, including a 163-yard performance against then-No. 16 ranked SMU.

Those two players are worth monitoring, no doubt, but the Cardinals passing attack is also incredibly notable.

Wide receiver Treyshun Hurry hasn't led the team in receiving yards all year until he just had 104 of Kienholz's 182 yards at Georgia Tech.

Prior to that, Tre Richardson and Lawayne McCoy have traded off being the team's leading receivers.

Both are top 100 receivers in the nation in terms of receiving yards. Richardson has far more volume with his 44 receptions, but McCoy is the big-play receiver as he's tied for fifth in the nation with his 20.5 yards per reception.
