Top Storyline: The Teddy Bridgewater Watch

Not only is Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater a Heisman candidate this season, many are also tabbing him as the first quarterback selected in the 2014 NFL draft if he declares.

Bridgewater completed 69 percent of his throws for 27 touchdowns last season while averaging 8.9 yards per pass attempt and tossing only seven interceptions. His display against Ohio in Week 1 was a sign of things to come in 2013, as Bridgewater looks to lead the Cardinals to the promised land and boost his draft stock.

All eyes are on Bridgewater in 2013. He handled the pressure well last season, but the pressure will be even more intense this season. As he continues to perform at a high level, the scrutiny only grows.

Eastern Kentucky should be another cakewalk opponent for Bridgewater. In fact, there aren't many teams on Louisville's schedule this year that figure to truly test him.

Prediction: Louisville 48, Eastern Kentucky 10

Teddy Bridgewater is going to make sure the Cardinals don't let up against anyone in perhaps his final year with the team. 

After leading Louisville to a 33-23 victory over Florida in the Sugar Bowl last season, he aims to go out with a bang, etching his name in the annals of Louisville's history.

Beyond the offense displayed by Louisville against Ohio, the defense also did its job, holding Bobcats quarterbacks to 6.2 yards per pass attempt and zero touchdowns. 

Expect more of the same on both sides of the ball from Louisville against Eastern Kentucky. The progress of Bridgewater will be monitored every week, and he knows it.
