Five Plays: Wake Forest Second Quarter
The second quarter of Louisville’s game against Wake Forest may just be the worst quarter of football Jeff Brohm has seen from his defense during his time here. Blown coverages, missed assignments, mental errors, missed tackles, and untimely penalties led to Wake absorbing what was a very good quarter from the Louisville offense. I clipped […]
Five Plays: Wake Forest First Quarter
For the first time since I started writing film reviews for Card Chronicle, I was able to use the SkyCam broadcast of the game to produce clips. This provided a much better view of the things that went right for the Cards as well as the things that went wrong. As always, I did my […]
Seedy K’s Pigskin Palaver: Mediocrity, Bon Mots & Bad Woofs +++
Culling the landscape of college football. How Many Syllables Kamario? Couldn’t help myself. It’s an obscure reference to a line in the cult movie classic, “Putney Swope.” I could have titled this “More Cowbell” but I wanted to be subtler than that. Anyhow the Mississippi State Flavor of the Month QB — last name Taylor — […]
The Post I Didn’t Want To Write
Talked about it. Wrote about it. Told the team about it. Didn’t matter. In what was seemingly one of the most predictable losses in the history of the program, the Cards and staff still found a way to go out and mess the bed, even through the noise and chatter of this being a prime […]
Wake Forest Upsets #16 Louisville, 30-27
Same story. Different year. 2023: Following a statement win over #10 Notre Dame to give Brohm a 6-0 start at Louisville, the Cardinals fall 38-21 to Pittsburgh, who would finish with 3 wins that year. 2024: After beating Clemson for the first time in program history, and in convincing fashion on the road against the […]

The Cards finally pulled away in the fourth quarter with explosive plays in the run and pass game. The defense continued to give up some big plays while making huge plays that turned the tide of the game. Let’s dive into the plays that led to one of the biggest wins of the Jeff Brohm […]
What To Watch For: Wake Forest Demon Deacons
LOUISVILLE MUST AVOID NEGATIVE PLAYS Wake Forest comes into this game with 17 tackles for loss on the season, while UofL has given up 8 tackles for loss in each of their games against FBS competition. A strength for the Wake defense is a clear weakness for the Cards, but they will need to find […]
CC Podcast: All there for the taking
Mike and Dan talk about Dancision 2026, the big win over SMU, the Antonio Watts news, and Saturday’s game against Wake Forest. Here’s the direct link.
Louisville’s Antonio Watts to miss remainder of 2026 season
U of L has announced that preseason All-American Antonio Watts will miss the remainder of the season because of a knee injury. A source with the program tells Card Chronicle that Watts suffered the injury in practice. Playing the STAR position on the Cardinal defense, Watts earned All-ACC honors in 2025 after logging 42 tackles, […]
Five Plays: SMU Mustangs Third Quarter
Things started to heat up for the Louisville and SMU offenses in the third quarter, with the teams trading scores in an impressive showing of explosive plays. Jeff Brohm began relying on his running game, with Rhett Lashlee doing the same. Defense became a little bit optional, which led to some good plays to take […]
Louisville-Wake Forest: A complete timeline of college football’s dumbest rivalry
Rivalry hierarchy is a constant conversation in college sports. In football, you’ve got Ohio State-Michigan, Army-Navy, Auburn-Alabama, Texas-Oklahoma, and of course, Louisville-Wake Forest. If you’re not familiar with why the nation is referring to the series between the Cardinals and Demon Deacons as “the new and improved Ohio State-Michigan,” then it’s time for a refresher […]
Opponent Breakdown: Wake Forest Defense
Wake Forest has started this season with three strong performances, led by a defense that has done well to contain opposing offenses. While their offense has gotten a lot of focus, the Deacs have flown under the radar on the defensive side of the ball. The start to the Miami game was bad, to say […]
Initial Louisville-Wake Forest injury report released
The initial injury report for the Wake Forest game has been released, and Louisville has plenty of contributors on the list. Antonio Watts is listed as doubtful for the game, while Tayon Holloway is questionable. That puts the Cards in jeopardy of not having two starters for the noon start. The remainder of the contributors […]
Five Plays: SMU Mustangs Second Quarter
The second quarter of the SMU game saw both teams cool off a bit on offense. The defenses started to settle in, and both teams made big stops on third and fourth down. Koen Entringer continues to have issues in coverage, which leads to another easy touchdown. Louisville is bringing pressure on this play with […]
Uniform Report: Wake Forest
Another traditional look at home. I like it.
Wednesday afternoon Cardinal news and notes
—Spread check: Louisville by 12.5. —Through three games, Lincoln Kienholz has been physical, electric and perhaps most importantly, clean in his play style. —Kaleb Beasley has been named the Walter Camp National Defensive Player of the Week, and KeyJuan Brown has been named the Doak Walker Award National Running Back of the Week. Not bad […]
Five Plays: SMU Mustangs First Quarter
Louisville had their second-ranked matchup in three weeks on Saturday, and the game started off with a bang. The back-and-forth affair had tons of big plays as well as a lot of good defensive plays to stop the big plays. Unlike previous games, the Cards started fast, but the defense still had some struggles. As […]
Opponent Breakdown: Wake Forest Offense
Wake Forest enters the second year of the Jake Dickert era with a 2-1 record and a clear identity built on their coach’s mentality. Dickert has his team playing with relentless belief that they can win any game, and that has shown up in each game this season. While last year surprised many, Dickert’s offense […]
