This episode of The C.L. Brown Show features Louisville football offensive lineman Lance Robinson and edge rusher Clev Lubin.

Lubin saw the teams that made the College Football Playoff last season and believes the Cardinals were as good as any of them. Their wins against the two playoff teams they faced — at Miami and over James Madison — provided all the proof he needed. Lubin says UofL just has to avoid the letdowns of last season, and it can set that tone in the season opener against Mississippi.

Lubin also explains why he expects North Carolina transfer Tyler Thompson to be a defensive standout for the Cards this season.

Robinson, meanwhile, discusses why he considers himself the "Swiss Army Knife" of the Louisville offensive line.

Hear about that and more on this week's episode of The C.L. Brown Show.
