Louisville’s Etheridge Ready for Return This Weekend Versus Florida State
The sophomore missed the last two games with an ankle injury.


LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Dorian Etheridge is used to being on the field.

As a true freshman last season, the Charleston, W. Va., native played in all 13 games, and was the first rookie in school history to lead the team in tackles.

Starting all 13 games in 2017, Etheridge recorded 83 tackles and earned Freshman All-American accolades. He totaled five games with eight or more tackles, including a personal best of 14 stops in a loss to Boston College.

After recording eight tackles in the first two games, the linebacker was out of the lineup with an injury in the last two games, and being on the sidelines was a tough adjustment.

“Playing all year last year, this was like my first two games not being out there,” Etheridge said. “I was seeing everything, talking to them out there, and trying to be a good teammate, but it’s nothing like being out on the field. That really got to me, and that’s why I needed to get out there better than ever.”

In the loss to Virginia last week, Etheridge tried to give it a go, but the training staff thought he wasn’t quite ready, which was frustrating to the 6-foot-3 linebacker.

"(The ankle) wasn't all the way there yet," Etheridge said. "The risk wasn't worth it."

The defense will get a big lift this weekend against Florida State when Etheridge is expected to return to the lineup for the first time since the Indiana State game on Sept. 15.

Etheridge is probably the most critical piece on Louisville's defense as he’s the team’s main communicator, and is responsible for getting his young defense lined up.

"I was Coach Dorian when I was out," Etheridge said. "They just get the feedback. Every time I come out there, I'm in their face. Every time they came to the sideline, they were probably getting tired of me. But they knew I was trying to help them."

Despite losing their losing tackler from a year ago, the inexperienced defense has demonstrated signs of improvement this season, and the return on their leader could provide a spark against a solid Florida State squad, which enters the games at 2-2, but 0-2 in the league.

"I'm 19 years old and I'm one of the leaders on the team," Etheridge said. "As long as I got my guys around me, we got each other's backs. It don't really matter, the other stuff."

With Etheridge out, freshman Robert Hicks started one game and redshirt freshman Nick Okeke the other. Hicks, a rookie out of Miami, led the Cardinals with 11 tackles against Western Kentucky, while Okeke totaled seven stops in his first career start.

“Robert is a young guy who has a lot of athletic ability,” Etheridge said. He played well, but he just has to learn the ropes of the game.”

Etheridge totaled five tackles last season in Louisville’s 31-28 win over the Seminoles in Tallahassee, and knows to beat FSU for the third-straight time, the Cardinals must stop the run.

“The running backs are definitely their strength,” Etheridge said. “They focus their offense around their two backs. They have two outstanding backs and a good quarterback, so we just have to contain them.”

The Cardinals and Seminoles will kick off at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, with both teams looking for their first conference wins.

FWIW...

Multiple players have told me that there is an energy present at practice this week that hasn't been there. Again, until we see something on the field we have no reason to believe things have changed, but I thought I would pass along what I have heard.

Mike Summers talked to the media yesterday and said this:

"They were challenged by the coaching staff, and challenged by each other and I thought they responded to that challenge and looked good on the practice field. We took a big step today."

Hopefully we see a different football team Saturday.

I randomly noticed amid all the hoopla that he has listed, "Georgetown vs. Louisville - who won that game anyway?"

Does anyone know what this is in reference to? I am 32 and have been watching the Cards all my life, but have no idea.

Notes from Chris Mack on Ramsey & Rutherford

- We can't ask fans to like a kid's tweet or tell fans to follow him - but the kids love it when Louisville fans follow on Twitter or Instagram. The fans - it's one of the reasons I came to Louisville. Our recruits certainly feel that.

- Connecting with older players: It says a lot that they feel such a strong bond to the place that they play. I am grateful that they feel a bond to me and my coaching staff. ... They are not shy to tell people about their great experience here.

- I always want to be a team that stays together, shares the ball regardless of who's

- We are a connected defense, we are trying to build in habits in our defense - which is about 180 from the habits that were installed previously.

- I'd be disappointed if we weren't (in the tournament). We didn't sign up to not be in the tournament, but you have to earn your way there. ... It is going to be a very, very challenging schedule.

- I encourage the fans to stick with us when time gets tough.

Today marks the one year anniversary of the breaking of the FBI investigation into college b-ball. This has been a nightmarish process for all involved but I’m pretty proud of uofl’s resilience.

All-time coaching greats, hall of famer players, college national champions and Super Bowl winners highlight the 2018 Atlantic Coast Conference Football Legends class announced on Thursday.

The 14-member group of honorees includes Boston College’s Mathias Kiwanuka, Clemson’s Brian Dawkins, Duke’s Steve Spurrier, Florida State’s Bobby Bowden, Georgia Tech’s Joshua Nesbitt, Louisville’s Roman Oben, Miami’s Ed Reed, North Carolina’s Ron Rusnak, NC State’s Mario Williams, Pitt’s Mark May, Syracuse’s Don McPherson, Virginia’s Herman Moore, Virginia Tech’s Eddie Royal and Wake Forest’s Steve Justice.

This year’s class will be honored during the ACC Night of Legends presented by the Charlotte Sports Foundation at the Charlotte Convention Center, on Friday, Nov. 30, and during the on-field pregame festivities at the 14th annual Dr Pepper ACC Football Championship Game, set for the evening of Saturday, Dec. 1, at Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium.

Tickets to the 2018 Dr Pepper ACC Football Championship Game go on sale Tuesday, Oct. 2.

Each of the ACC’s 14 football schools selected its 2018 Legend. Below is a further glance at each member of this year’s ACC Football Legends Class.

Roman Oben, OT, Louisville (1992-95) – A powerful offensive lineman for the Cardinals for four years • Earned first-team All-America honors in 1994, when he didn't allow a sack the entire season • Third-round pick by the New York Giants in the 1996 NFL Draft and went on to play 12 seasons in the NFL for the Giants (1996-99), Cleveland Browns (2000-01), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2002-03) and San Diego Chargers (2004-07) • Started 130 of 143 games during his pro career • Starting left tackle on Tampa Bay's 2002 Super Bowl Championship team • Served as an NFL Players Association team representative for seven years • Established the Roman Oben Foundation in 1993, an organization dedicated to improving the quality of life and promoting the positive development of youth through football, literacy and other community outreach projects • Since 2015, he has served as the NFL’s Director of Youth and High School Football.

Defense gets a huge interception with run back to the 4 yard line.

Petrino takes Malik Cunningham out and inserts Jawon Pass.

He then calls 3 straight running plays which results in little to no gain and a field goal.

1) If you were going to run 3 straight times why do you take out a dual threat QB?

2) Why would you call for 3 run plays given that the team has had virtually no success running the ball with Pass under center?

3) If you’re going with Pass then why would you not have him throw one pass? A throw to the corner to one of Louisville’s highly touted tall athletic WR’s?

None of this makes any sense. Just like the going for it on 4th and 4 on your own 32 yd line versus Indiana State only down 7.

Something is severely amiss.

For those who are wanting to see Bobby Petrino fired, below is the insane contract our former AD laid down in front of Bobby to sign.

As Mark Ennis said earlier today, “Louisville somehow managed to lose a bidding war against itself for Petrino.”

I don’t think so. Outside of the Lamar Jackson years UL’s offense has been lackluster.

I know Bobby is married to his spread offense, but it’s not working. He needs to hire better assistants, but a lot of coaches don’t want to work for/with Bobby. What does he do?

This isn’t something that can be turned around in a weeks worth of practice.

The first thing that needs to happen is he needs to lose the kinder gentler Bobby and find that old Bobby who was always job hopping and angry Bobby.

Who wins this pillow fight?

I actually think the Cards cover in a loss. Final score FSU 3 - Cards 2.

To all the Mack naysayers suck a big Johnson cause David Johnson commits to cards todayl

Cropper had released a top 5 back in July that included Utah, Oregon, Fresno St., Boise St., and California so it will be interesting to see if Louisville can legitimately get involved in his recruitment.

I realized that I don't say Cardinal Stadium enough, and need to reinforce this name change, so I am going to talk more about Cardinal Stadium in my posts for a while.

Anyway ...

This Saturday ... SUNNY... 72 degrees .... 3:30 kickoff ... Florida State.

The kind of game we pined for when stuck in CUSA. I'm not going to let a subpar season so far steal my joy over where we find ourselves.

Cardinal Stadium will be a great place to be. I hope that you all join me in Cardinal Stadium as we try to win our 3rd in a row over Florida State. Sadly, I have a feeling that we will have our choice of seats in Cardinal Stadium, given our front running fan base (that is also fair weather, so, maybe folks will show up given the spectacular day we will have).

See you all out at Cardinal Stadium!

Go Cards!

Eric Crawford is back, with this linked article above. He's not 100%, but he's well enough to get back to work, which is nice. An insightful read from him.

Welcome back Eric! Glad to hear your voice again.

yuts are 4-0 for the first time since the Civil War and all the yut fans want to do is come to a Louisville board to see if they can get some recognition.

Sad.

Here is what I've been hearing over the last few days about Louisville targets in Kentucky:

Rivals250 4-star Milton Wright was supposed to take an official visit to Alabama but that was postponed. I have spoken with various sources from Purdue, Louisville, Alabama, and his high school and all indications are that Wright has some work to do in the classroom. This doesn't bode well for Purdue, whose academic course load is more severe than Louisville's. The problem for Wright with Alabama is that the Rivals guys over there say the Tide is all in on flipping five star WR George Pickens from Auburn, and they will probably shut down the WR position if they get him. Also, with him not making the visit, I doubt they are pursuing him at the moment. Process of elimination says that if Wright can get his grades corrected, Louisville or UK have the best shot here, and I would go with the 'Cards over the 'Cats.

JJ Weaver said he is officially visiting Louisville for the WF game and Miami on October 6th. He raved about UK's win over Miss State saying that he can see him playing in Josh Allen's OLB role and that's what the staff is selling him. He stopped just short of naming a leader when we spoke and also assured me that Purdue is still in the running. He has eliminated Tennessee and it looks like Cincinnati is out as well. If I had to pick a spot for him right now I would say UK but the Miami visit looms large and Purdue is still a threat. He did tell me that Louisville is still in the running and to not rule them out. He acknowledged that he sees the ability to get on the field early and contribute but I just didn't get the vibe that he had them at the top of his list.

Last night Jared Casey told me that the visit was cool but he didn't feel like he wanted to commit. I also reached out to a person close to Oregon who said the visit was "cool and Casey loved it" but noted they have a guy at LB who is probably going to commit soon and they made Casey aware of that fact. I also get the vibe that Casey's family wants him closer to home and vibe from multiple conversations with various sources I feel Casey isn't going to Oregon.

That's the good news, the bad news is that Casey told me feels at home every time he visits UK.
He has an official visit set up this weekend for the USCe game. He will bring his mom and dad with him. He's also excited to see what Wisconsin has to offer on his official visit there next week. He told me that a Wisconsin linebacker coach flew in to Louisville to do a background check on him, talking to his coaches, teachers, guidance counselor, and probably a janitor or two. His visit is still on for the weekend of October 6th so it looks like he passed the vetting.

Casey is an early enrollee and will be committing to a school two weeks after his Wisconsin visit. Right now, I would say that choice is going to be UK but it's too early to enter a futurecast because the Wisconsin visit is still looming. He did say that he hasn't eliminated Louisville but from what I've discerned the 'Cards have some work to do to catch up and he didn't mention a visit to S. Floyd.

Finally there is the case of Shawnkell Knight-Goff. I haven't spoken with him because he stays off the grid. Those I have spoken with believe he is most likely to recommit to Kentucky. That comes from other KY prospects and a few sources I have with Kentucky.
