Strengths: If Lamar Jackson continues to play like he did in the bowl game, then quarterback is a strength for sure. Louisville also has my No. 9 set of receivers, No. 2 linebackers and No. 23 defensive backs. Last year, the team's overall experience level was a weakness as they were No. 117 in that category, but it is now a strength as they move up to 14th-most experienced, which is the largest jump of any team in the country.
