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 […]
Louisville releases first injury report for SMU game
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

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

Lashlee has had no issues dispatching the Cards since SMU joined the conference two years ago, and he will have his team ready on Saturday, as the Mustangs have a clear path to […]

Seedy K’s Pigskin Palaver: QBs ‘r’ Us
When I observed the kid immersed in his Jim Valvano moment, running around the field in abject joy, looking for someone to hug, shorn of a heavy burden carried for years, I thought of how many childhood future super dupers never had one? Secretariat met expectations. Tiger Woods. At least on the course, if not […]

LJ Wells. So it is being reported by several responsible sources. 6-8 forward, who played at Northern Kentucky. Named plaintiff in Jefferson Circuit Court case. Averaged 15 and 7 last season. I know nothing more. — c d kaplan
U of L CardFile: Villanova
The Cards Aspire. New bright lights. See the kids in the spotlight. Home town hero at the helm. Now’s not the moment to underwhelm. The Cardinals dispatched Villanova in orderly fashion, as they should have. 59-13. If the College Football Playoff in Jeff Brohm’s fourth season with the headset is the goal, and it most […]
Louisville Defeats Villanova, 59-13
I want to start by first giving credit the owner of this site, Mike Rutherford. I promise I’m not being a brown noser as I want to give Mike credit for calling exactly how this game would go. All week he said that he imagined this game would get off to an annoying start and […]
Highlights: Louisville 59, Villanova 13
Dominated like they were supposed to. Got starters some rest. Got the young guys some action. Didn’t suffer any major injuries (as long as KeyJuan is ok). Pretty much all the major boxes checked in this one. Massive, massive opportunity for this team in eight days. Think the fans will recognize the gravity of the […]

Five Plays: Ole Miss Fourth Quarter
The action continued to ratchet up in the fourth quarter with both teams trading big plays and touchdowns. The defenses both left a lot to be desired, but we did get a glimpse into how Mark Ivey will call a close game going forward. I went a little more rapid-fire with this post to fit […]
Five Plays: Ole Miss Third Quarter
If you are accustomed to reading this series over the last few years, you are aware that the title is merely an often-failed goal. This game really picked up in the third quarter, so I decided to clip all of the plays that felt relevant to the outcome of the game. We started to see […]
