Louisville Cardinal fans have a lot to look forward to next football season. One of the main reasons is sophomore quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. Bridgewater has been getting a lot of praise this off season by coaches and teammates. Athlon Sports is also expecting a lot from Bridgewater next season, ranking him the number one quarterback in the Big East. For complete list go HERE.

Excerpt from article:

1. Teddy Bridgewater, Louisville (SO)
Passing Stats: 2,129 yards, 14 TDs, 12 INTs
Rushing Stats: 89 att., 66 yards, 4 TDs

Bridgewater was one of Louisville’s top incoming freshmen last season, ranking as Athlon’s No. 6 quarterback for the 2011 recruiting class. He took over as the Cardinals’ starting quarterback against Marshall and led the team to a share of the Big East title and victories over Rutgers, West Virginia and South Florida. Bridgewater finished with 2,129 yards and 14 touchdowns, but showed his inexperience by tossing 12 picks. The Cardinals should be the favorites to win the Big East title in 2012, and Bridgewater should build off a solid freshman performance with a sophomore campaign.
