Projecting's Louisville's Holiday Bowl Two-Deep vs. USC

The Cardinals conclude the 2023 season against the Trojans in the Holiday Bowl.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - After a few weeks to regroup following the end of the regular season, the Louisville football program will attempt to head into the offseason on a positive note, taking on USC in the Holiday Bowl.

With so many bowl opt-outs in this age of college football, whether that be due to the NFL Draft or transfer portal, most programs don't release depth charts ahead of their bowl due to ever-changing rosters.

The Cardinals are no exception, as they have not released a depth chart for their bowl matchup with the Trojans. With that being said, Louisville Report will instead be projecting the likely two-deep depth chart for Louisville, which you can find below.

This two-deep will be changed if and when roster moved are made.
