Teddy Bridgewater - QB - Cardinals

Louisville junior QB Teddy Bridgewater completed 71 percent of his throws that traveled six to 15 yards beyond the line of scrimmage.

The number is ridiculously high, since many college passers average around 50 to 60 percent in that intermediate area. Bridgewater is a pure pocket passer, with a great feel for pressure to evade it and find receivers downfield. "When you break down his incompletions, he threw into coverage less than any QB in the past draft class and flat out missed his receivers less as well," according to Greg Peshek of The Sideline View.

Teddy Bridgewater - QB - Cardinals

Louisville sophomore QB Teddy Bridgewater threw for 263 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while completing 20-of-28 attempts Thursday against Rutgers.

It was a gutty performance from the sophomore, who could only take snaps from the shotgun due to a broken wrist. Bridgewater was also dealing with a lower leg injury but used his feet to buy time and fine receivers downfield. Along with potentially starting his 2013 Heisman campaign, Bridgewater should enter next season as a favorite to be a top five pick.

Teddy Bridgewater - QB - Cardinals

Louisville head coach Charlie Strong stated that sophomore QB Teddy Bridgewater will "definitely" play against Rutgers on Thursday.

This guy is not mortal. Bridgewater broke his left wrist prior to halftime, but returned to lead the Cardinals on a game-tying drive to force overtime. He also took a vicious shot while being hit high and low in the extra period. We have a hard time creating a scenario in which Bridgewater is not the top draft-eligible quarterback headed into next season.

Teddy Bridgewater - QB - Cardinals

Scout.com's Jody Demling is reporting that Louisville sophomore QB Teddy Bridgewater finished the game with a broken left wrist.

Bridgewater broke the wrist just before halftime and returned with a cast. During one of the first overtime periods, the quarterback was hit low and forced out of the game again. Bridgewater did return and threw an interception. We are shocked he was able to play after either injury.

Teddy Bridgewater - QB - Cardinals

Louisville sophomore QB Teddy Bridgewater injured his left arm or shoulder at the end of the first half against UConn and will apparently undergo X-rays at halftime.

We did not see the hit, but the X-rays must have been negative as Bridgewater returned to the game with five minutes remaining in the third quarter. He was sidelined for a while, but the stud sophomore's wrist or arm appears fine.

Teddy Bridgewater - QB - Cardinals

Louisville sophomore QB teddy Bridgewater threw for 424 yards, three touchdowns and one interception on 26-of-49 attempts Saturday in a loss to Syracuse.

The Cardinals' defense couldn't stop the Orange all day, but Bridgewater did his part throughout the game. The sophomore will be one of the highest ranked players heading into next season.

Teddy Bridgewater - QB - Cardinals

Louisville sophomore QB Teddy Bridgewater completed 19-of-28 attempts for 324 yards and five touchdowns Saturday against Temple.

Many talk about Marqise Lee and Jadeveon Clowney in the sophomore calls, but Bridgewater will enter next season as the top draft-eligible quarterback. His movement in the pocket and downfield placement is exceptional, and Bridgewater should get more love for the Heisman trophy.

Teddy Bridgewater - QB - Cardinals

Louisville sophomore QB Teddy Bridgewater completed 24-of-41 passes for 416 yards, two touchdowns and one interception Friday against Cincinnati.

The sophomore started very slowly but picked it up with two long touchdowns after the half. The conditions certainly didn't help, with rain pouring and winds swirling, but Bridgewater continued to show off his pocket movement and downfield arm. His 10.1 average yards per attempt is excellent.

Teddy Bridgewater - QB - Cardinals

Louisville sophomore QB Teddy Bridgewater completed 17-of-26 passes for 304 yards and one touchdown in Saturday's win over Pittsburgh.

Although he only completed 17 passes, Bridgewater's 11.7 yard per attempt average is outstanding. The sophomore continues to wow us, especially with his presence in the pocket despite possessing excellent running ability. He may enter the 2013 season as the top draft-eligible quarterback.

Mario Benavides - C - Cardinals

SI's Tony Pauline was impressed by Louisville senior C Mario Benavides during Saturday's game against UNC.

Specifically, Pauline cites Benavides' matchup with UNC defensive tackle Sylvester Williams, who Pauline calls a "universally considered" first-rounder. We are much lower on Williams, along with two other senior defensive tackles in Purdue's Kawann Short and Georgia's John Jenkins. Pauline projects Benavides to a zone blocking scheme and believes the Cardinal is a later-round prospect.

Teddy Bridgewater - QB - Cardinals

Louisville sophomore QB Teddy Bridgewater completed 23-of-28 passes for 279 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's win over UNC.

Bridgewater is quite the prospect, but we will have to wait until the 2014 Draft at the earliest. Despite is excellent running ability, the sophomore is exceptionally comfortable in the pocket and is not afraid of taking chances downfield.

Jeremy Wright - RB - Cardinals

Beat writer Nick Coffey advises to not "be surprised" if Louisville junior Jeremy Wright lines up as the team's starting RB.

Head coach Charlie Strong said they will not announce a starter until later in the week for Sunday's annual contest against Kentucky. According to Coffey "Wright has had a tremendous fall camp. Dominique Brown and Senorise Perry have been battling as well, but Wright has reportedly been the most complete back over the past two weeks." The junior struggled to hold on to the ball last season, so ball security issues could land him with a decreased role quickly.

Michaelee Harris - WR - Cardinals

Louisville sophomore WR Michaelee Harris will miss the 2012 season after tearing the ACL in his left knee.

Harris already entered preseason camp rehabbing a torn ACL in his right knee, but went down during a 7-on-7 drill Thursday. Knee issues have really hurt Harris during his career, after missing all of the 2012 season to recover and this marks his fourth major injury to that area. The redshirt sophomore led the team in receiving last season with 455 yards on 37 catches and expect junior Damian Copeland to receive more targets in his absence.

Teddy Bridgewater - QB - Cardinals

Louisville sophomore QB Teddy Bridgewater has gained 40 pounds since joining the Cardinals football team and now stands at 6'3/218.

This includes a 27 pound weight gain since last December. "A lot of the weight is in my arms and legs, so it helps me as far as throwing the ball and being more explosive," Bridgewater explained. The sophomore could improve on his touchdown to interception ratio (14:12), but he showed flashes of poise and composure in closing spaces that veteran quarterbacks would be jealous of. We would not be surprised if Bridgewater is one of the breakout performers of 2012.

Zeke Pike - TE - Cardinals

Former Auburn freshman Zeke Pike is transferring to Louisville after being let go from the Tigers' football team, and will move to TE.

Pike was basically dismissed from the Auburn squad, although that word was not used, after he was arrested for public intoxication. The freshman practiced at quarterback with the Tigers this spring but will transfer to Louisville and make a position switch to TE. Pike will be forced to sit out the season due to NCAA rules.
