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 […]

Louisville opens as 12.5-point favorite over Wake Forest
On the wings of their 41-31 triumph over SMU on Saturday, the Louisville football team is now receiving serious love as a potential College Football Playoff team in 2026.

Louisville climbs to No. 16 in AP poll
On the heels of its 41-31 win over SMU (and Ole Miss’ triumph over LSU), the Louisville football team has climbed seven spots from No. 23 to No. 16 in the latest Associated Press Top 25 poll. The Cards are one of three ACC teams in this week’s poll, joining No. 6 Miami and No. […]
Seedy K’s GameCap: SMU
Louisville 41, Southern Methodist 31. Lowerranked. Outtotalyarded. Out1stDowned. Outpossessiontimed. But more pointed. Louisville 41, Southern Methodist 31. It is at this juncture when reporting some details and observations of such auspicious outcomes that appropriate lyrics of some sort or another usually come to mind. Which I tried to conjure as late afternoon turned into a […]
#23 Louisville Defeats #16 SMU, 41-31
Looking at the schedule this year, the 13-day stretch between Ole Miss and SMU was clearly going to be a season-defining stretch. Of course, you’d love to win both games, but if you were forced to choose which one mattered more, it’s hard to argue that beating SMU wouldn’t have a bigger impact on the […]

Five Plays: Villanova Wildcats Second Half
The Cards closed out the game well against Villanova last weekend. The offense got going with the run and the pass, and they continued to play mostly clean football. The defense looked much better in coverage in the second half, though they did have a couple of plays where they had some issues with technique […]

Hoopaholic’s Gazette: A Ruthian Call & Late Season Peach
What does the surprise appearance of some late season peaches at Paul’s have to do with Babe Ruth and U of L hoops? Read on, should you be intrigued. The peaches — from Idaho of all places — are pretty pretty good (to use the voice and vernacular of the assistant who convinced Obama to […]
What To Watch For: SMU Mustangs
JEFF BROHM NEEDS TO GET ISAAC BROWN IN SPACE Through two games, Isaac Brown has not been able to break a big run, and he has been bottled up on a good number of his rushing attempts. Both teams keyed on him when he was in the game and committed players to the box when […]
Five Plays: Villanova Wildcats Second Quarter
Louisville couldn’t have had a worse start to the second quarter against Villanova, but I’m happy to try to explain why that was. The Cards have some things to fix, but we started to see how well this team can adjust on the fly as well as how athletic this team is on both sides […]
Opponent Breakdown: SMU Mustangs Defense
SMU isn’t known for its defense, but Rhett Lashlee has to be happy about how his group has started this season. The Mustangs have been very stingy against the pass, while also making plenty of plays against the run to slow down opposing offenses. This defense had to replace a lot of its top contributors […]

The first U of L injury report for Saturday’s showdown against SMU is out, and it features a handful of promising developments. First, running back KeyJuan Brown — who exited last Friday’s win over Villanova with a potential concussion — is not listed in any capacity, meaning he should be good to go for Saturday. […]
Uniform Report: SMU
We are rocking a classic look for (perhaps) the biggest home game of the season. Get out there, get drunk (stay hydrated), and make a difference.
Five Plays: Villanova Wildcats First Quarter
Louisville finished the first quarter of their game against Villanova last weekend with a 17-3 lead, but that lead didn’t come without some rough moments on both sides of the ball. The defense allowed some plays that they should have contained, and the offense had some blocking issues. They figured things out in the end, […]
Seedy K’s Peerless Pigskin Prognostications: Week III
Well, if Michigan didn’t bop the Okies and even its record at 1-1 Saturday, the kid would have crafted a perfecto. But the $10.5 million man with the $50 mill buyout before 2031, Brent Venables proved once again that a great coordinator doesn’t make a great CEO. Coach is flush. But Boomer Sooner Busted. Other […]
Opponent Breakdown: SMU Mustangs Offense
Rhett Lashlee will bring his undefeated SMU Mustangs to Louisville this weekend for a top-25 matchup with major ramifications in the ACC.
