Players to watch:  Georgia freshman Nick Chubb has done an excellent job replacing early-season Heisman favorite Todd Gurley at running back. Chubb has rushed for 1,281 yards (6.9 yards per carry) and 12 touchdowns. Chubb will be seeking his eighth straight 100-yard rushing game against a stiff Cardinals defense that allows 2.9 yards per carry. Louisville's quarterback situation is unclear. The Cardinals could start either Reggie Bonnafon or Kyle Bolin, but the one consistent is that they will be throwing to No. 1 receiver DeVante Parker. Parker missed the first seven games of the season with a foot injury, but since his return, the 6-3 senior has averaged 147 receiving yards per game to go along with five touchdowns.
