Game 1 Depth Chart / Game Notes | Louisville

[PhatOrange]

Maybe so, but definitely will lose more than 3 that exhaust eligibility.
Tucker, Bergeron, Jones, Williams, Bleich? Even Thompson with a big year?

Bleich listed as a redshirt junior

Bleich listed as a redshirt junior

True, I think he is basically the football version of Cole Swider. It's another year of eligibility due to Covid. But, he ain't gettin' any younger.

If the schedule wasn’t so daunting I would be guaranteeing that this team would make a bowl game

With having one of the toughest schedules in the nation and starting with a conference opponent, can’t do it. But we do look good on paper

I’ve talked myself into Louisville, Purdue, and Pitt being closer games than I would have thought 6 months ago. Hope has a lifespan of at least 5 more days! Beat Virginia and BC and we’re on to something.

Another positive is, if we go undefeated with this schedule, we are absolutely getting into the playoffs

I like where your head’s at here - let’s kick it off with #1 Saturday night.

Yes. Hence the reference to attrition.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

Same. And surprised to see it happen. It's really more of a Shelbyville idea.

Like the monorail?

dont want to be negative but it most likely means we have two average punters

Ya think? After last season, it would be nice to have an "average" punter, let alone 2. I think it more likely means "We're not sure yet if one of these guys can be average."

 

[Jake]

Yeah, could be a case of which ever does the best under live conditions, gets the starter role.

I think this is exactly what will happen. Williams was a walking shankopotomus last year.

Williams had to be injured, right? I mean, he just HAD to be.

 

[MSOrange]

Hackett dropping in!

Injury or nerves. I don’t understand how such a highly regarded punter could have performed that poorly.

My guess is that whomever performs better in warmups gets the nod. Hopefully we won’t have to punt much.

I thought someone mentioned last year he had an injury he was working through?

Solution to that is never be forced to punt.

 

[TheHaze315]

Williams had to be injured, right? I mean, he just HAD to be.

He looked a lot better in the spring game, which leads me to think it actually could have been nerves or the speed of CFB getting to him and speeding up his mechanics. Either way i’m expecting him to be a lot better this year.

The fact that so many incumbents (Smurf, Tisdale, Coley etc.) were pushed out of the 2-deep would seem to indicate that the young guys are pretty talented.

Yeah. When experienced guys get bumped, it means your floor was raised.

We are clearly going to pound the rock and throw bombs offensively.

I call it, the annexation of Puerto Rico.

Sounds like an offense for DeVito...I kid

 

[Bulldog04]

God this thread is great already lol. This week cannot go quick enough…

I would have through Mahar would have broken through. Seems like an insanely good athlete at TE.

Other than that, this is good that everyone is healthy and I’m friggin pumpedddd for Saturday

 

[GreekFreak]

Reading Louisville’s board they don’t seem overly concerned with us and view this game as a win. They respect Tucker a great deal and recognize his talent. It is also noted how our offensive scheme keeps changing (pass-heavy to run-heavy to Virginia style) and these multiple scheme changes are hard on the players - some of whom may not fit the latest scheme. They also respect our DC a great deal but have a target on Mikel because of him supposedly disrespecting Cunningham. Hopefully the Cards take us lightly after last year and they pay the price. I think if are physical with them that will help us and we can wear them down.

 

[Nahson]

Bleich listed as a redshirt junior

He’s made posts saying something along of the lines of this being his last year. I assumed he was out of eligibility.
