Louisville Football Position Previews: Linebackers
Louisville finished last season with a top-20 defense when it comes to yards per game and yards per play. Then they shuffled the defensive staff, with Mark Ivey and Steve Ellis taking over as coordinators.

JAYDIN BROADNAX #21 Height: 6’3” Weight: 190lb Position: DB Class: Freshman Hometown: Delray Beach, FL Summary: If true freshman Lekhy Thompkins got you juiced up yesterday, you might as well stay amped up today, because in my opinion Jaydin Broadnax has the opportunity to be just as good or better than LT.

MARQUISE DAVIS #24 Height: 6’0” Weight: 215lb Position: RB Class: Freshman Hometown: Cleveland, OH Summary: I understand completely that high school recruiting rankings is a nuanced element of college football, that some players get seen more than others, play on better teams, are from areas that are easier to access and therefore have more eyeballs, […]
Hoopaholic’s Gazette: The Seth Trimble Affair
The news appeared way early but a couple of sips in of my first (of three) cups of morning java. Before I came across an absolutely elegant rendition of Dylan’s “One More Cup of Coffee” by Turkish chanteuse Sertab Erener. Before I’d taken a bite of breakfast. Immediately, I jetted off a text to fellow […]

Seedy K’s Preseason Prattle: Oligarchs, Senators & Cards’ Greatest Villain
The oligarchs who run college football met this week to begin to perhaps decide the future of the sport. How to maximize revenue.

Roundball Rewind: Auburn ‘86 Elite Eight
Another in a series when I rewatch a key game from the past and file a GameCap as if it was played yesterday. As loud as it was in Freedom Hall at the conclusion of the final regular season tussle against Memphis State, when Milt Wagner did what he does — swishing important FTs — […]

‘The Cardinal Countdown: 29 Days Until Kickoff’
BLAKE RUFFIN #29 Height: 6’3” Weight: 205lb Position: DB Class: Graduate Senior Hometown: Louisville, KY Summary: I feel like Blake should be allowed at least one “Ruffin the passer” penalty a year at no cost to the team, its really the only proper thing to do, but I’m sure the ACC will find a way […]
