The Louisville football team is limping into the last game of the season. After losing to Cal in overtime, they suffered a one-point loss to Clemson at home, then took a beating at SMU. In the middle of those losses, the Cards have lost quite a few players.

Louisville will be without its top three running backs and leading receiver Chris Bell. They also could be playing a backup quarterback.

The maligned Miller Moss dropped a dumbbell on his foot in the weight room, forcing him to miss last week’s game at SMU. He’s considered questionable for the Governor’s Cup against Kentucky.

“We’ll try to get him healthy,” head coach Jeff Brohm said earlier this week. “I could see multiple quarterbacks possibly playing again.”

If Moss is unable to play, the Cards will turn to redshirt freshman Deuce Adams. In last week’s start, the Texas native completed 12-17 passes for 94 yards, and he carried the ball five times.

“Miller Moss, I would expect him to play and you have to prepare for that, but you have to prepare for Deuce as well,” said Mark Stoops. “Jeff has a lot of offense that he can go to and they are always hard to defend. I think they are really good in the pass game and they have a run game that can really hurt you. You have to be prepared for all of it.” 

If Moss plays, he may not play the whole game. Brohm is a believer in gadget plays, and with so many injuries on offense, you can expect plenty on Saturday. In the upset over Miami, the Cards put three quarterbacks on the field for a single snap. The Kentucky defense is preparing for anything and everything.

“Gadget plays are hard if you don’t know what you’re looking at. It can be hard to see what you’re looking at, but there’s always little tells,” said Kentucky linebacker Daveren Rayner.

“Maybe if they line up in a certain formation, they might bring in the slot a little bit closer, and in this formation on this part of the field, that’s not what they normally do. There are certain ways that you can see it, but it’s always something that you gotta just trust your keys. You might get caught in a bad situation, but you rely on what you’ve been coached to do.”

No matter who is taking snaps for Louisville, the Kentucky defense cannot have a repeat performance from last week’s game against Vanderbilt.
