That’s what makes Saturday’s matchup between the two so intriguing. There are questions surrounding the improvement of the Cavaliers, who were 2-10 last season and if the Cardinals can continue to play at a high level after losing head coach Charlie Strong to the Texas Longhorns and quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to the NFL.
The Cardinals got off to an excellent start on Saturday afternoon, marching 75 yards in nine plays capped by a nine-yard touchdown pass from Will Gardner to Charles Standberry, making it 7-0 Cardinals.
