2024 Recap
Jeff Brohm has been highly successful through two seasons as Louisville’s head coach. After leading the Cardinals to their first ACC Championship Game in 2023, he followed that up with a 9-4 record and a thrilling Sun Bowl victory over Washington in 2024. The Cardinals' 19-8 mark over the past two seasons is their best two-year stretch in a decade, dating back to when Teddy Bridgewater was at quarterback.
Louisville enters 2025 with similar expectations, thanks to what should be an elite rushing attack led by sophomores Isaac Brown and Duke Watson. Complementing the ground game is USC transfer Miller Moss, who takes over at quarterback. The Cardinals also return a strong front seven on defense but will need new faces in the secondary to step up.
Biggest Strength: A potentially explosive offense
Louisville boasts a top-five running back unit, led by superstar sophomore Isaac Brown, the No. 2-ranked running back in the country. Quarterback Miller Moss looks like an ideal fit in Jeff Brohm’s offense, especially with the return of wide receivers Chris Bell and Caullin Lacy.
Biggest Weakness: Offensive line
