Kentucky is 0-4 since he was an invited guest for their big weekend! 😂

Isaac Brown has been one of the most impactful freshman football players that I have seen over the years in a Cardinal uniform. As a true freshman he offers Louisville a weapon that traditionally could be counted upon for the next two seasons at a minimum. But with the transfer portal and NIL, you can guarantee that every Power 4 school, especially those in the SEC are salivating at the chance to woo him to their school and provide an instant upgrade at RB. The Card's have a month to get an NIL package together for Isaac that can hopefully keep him here in Louisville. His re-recruitment will be one of the top storylines of the offseason. Retaining him would be a big boost for the program and put the Cards in good position for the 2025 season.

During the telecast of the Louisville vs Clemson game the commentators explained that the Louisville defense had abandoned the helmet communication technology that was introduced to college football this season. They said that Louisville has struggled all season with communication through the helmet speaker and led to breakdowns on defense that we all have witnessed and lamented. Going back to traditional signal calling and a supposed simplification of the defensive scheme has apparently led to this recent success of the BC and Clemson defensive performances. One now has to wonder what could have been if the Cards had decided to make this change prior to the SMU game after seeing the issues in South Bend. The SMU loss weighs more heavily on my mind as it was an ACC matchup and the Cards I believe were the better team. A win there would have put the Cards at 7-2 and in contention for another appearance in the ACC Championship Game. It's all water under the bridge now, just too bad the staff didn't have the idea to make this change earlier in the season. Always easier to Monday morning QB these things.......at the end of the day I'm so happy they figured it out and allowed for this HUGE win over Clemson. A HUGE monkey off the back of this program and fanbase.

Those guys played their butts off yesterday. Everyone likes to talk about the running backs, and we have some very good ones. But, they don't go anywhere without some solid blocking. So hat's off to the big uglies. They came in there and flat out took care of business.
