Opponent Breakdown: Ole Miss Rebels Offense
Louisville starts the 2026 season with a game against a team that was a snap or two away from the national championship last season. It won’t be the first time this program has started off the year with a big-time opponent, but Ole Miss is a squad that the Cards match up well with. The […]

TJ BANKS #4 Height: 6’2” Weight: 205lb Position: DB Class: Junior Hometown: Tuscaloosa, AL Summary: It’s not often a four star prospect out of Tuscaloosa, AL gets out of the state, but that’s exactly what Banks did, choosing the Rebels of Ole Miss over Alabama and Auburn, among some other top tier SEC programs. Seeing […]

Here we go with the football campaign’s first harvest of bits, pieces and other assorted detritus from the last Week 0 ever.* *Next year any schools that so desire will be able to compete the weekend before Labor Day.

‘The Cardinal Countdown: 8 Days Until Kickoff’
Cardinals History By The Numbers People can make arguments for other players and maybe even coaches, but in my opinion, at least during my time on this earth, Lamar Jackson (#8) will be the most notable figure in Louisville football history. Not only did he set multiple records, post incredible plays, and win the schools […]

Louisville Football Position Previews: Running Backs
Out of any position group for the Louisville football team, running backs probably require the fewest words. Isaac Brown and Keyjuan Brown enter the year with a very strong argument to be the best two-man combo in the country. Chris Barclay has earned his reputation as one of the best running back coaches in the […]
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 9 Days Until Kickoff’
ANTONIO WATTS #9 Height: 6’2” Weight: 225lb Position: DB Class: Fifth Year Hometown: Columbus, GA Summary: On any given play you can find Antonio Watts lined up close to the line of scrimmage, back in a more traditional linebacker front, or a bit deeper like a coverage corner. He can play inside, he can play […]

Louisville Football Position Previews: Defensive Line
Louisville entered the portal window this offseason with a focus on the offensive line, but one could argue that they ended up better off on the other side of the trenches. The staff secured the return of Clev Lubin and AJ Green to man the edges, then they went to work to replace the seniors […]
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 10 Days Until Kickoff’
KALEB BEASLEY #10 Height: 6’1” Weight: 200lb Position: DB Class: Junior Hometown: Nashville, TN Summary: Beasley was a notable name out of high school, a consensus Top 150 guy out of Nashville who stuck close to home to play for the Volunteers over in Knoxville. Beasley played rotationally for a couple seasons and put up […]
Seedy K’s Peerless Pigskin Prognostications: Week 0
Long ago, far away, before the dawn of time, I dwelled and did dwell well at the Louisville Eccentric Observer. There was a column, known far and wide as “Rumor & Innuendo.” It is from that weekly feature that the bastardization of my initials morphed into my nom de plume. The main attraction of that […]
Louisville Football Position Previews: Wide Receivers
Jeff Brohm is well known for his ability to build an explosive passing game utilizing an assortment of different receivers.

TJ CAPERS #11 Height: 6’2” Weight: 225lb Position: LB Class: Senior Hometown: Miami, FL Summary: Seems like we’ve been talking about TJ Capers for eight seasons, and that’s a good thing.

Before joining those […]
Louisville Football Position Previews: Special Teams
Louisville ended last year with one of the best kicking games in the country while also being one of the worst punting units in all of college football. At this point, one could argue that the goal this season is to just have a kicking game that can get the bare minimum done. The staff […]
Seedy K’s Dandy Dozen
It’s Football Week. Time to reveal who shall be playing for the Crown at season’s end. I have confabbed with no artificial intelligence “beings” when compiling the following list. I have consulted nary a single analytics guru, nor any compiler and collator of data*. *Though I did have lunch with such a person recently, a […]
Louisville Football Position Previews: Cornerbacks
In Steve Ellis we trust. That’s the way I view Louisville’s newly promoted Co-Defensive Coordinator and world-class cornerbacks coach. Ellis has made a career of scouting under-the-radar corner prospects and turning them into NFL players. This past NFL draft was the first time that Ellis did not have a player drafted, and you could argue […]
