Louisville just can’t stop shooting themselves in the foot. We started to see glimpses of this in their game against Georgia Tech, where they were able to win but looked pretty sloppy doing so in the process with penalties and in general clunkiness. Against Notre Dame, early turnovers put them behind the eight ball early, head coach Jeff Brohm was way too aggressive, and we started to see communication issues come up in the defense.
He is playing exactly how a seventh year quarterback is expected to. He has an incredible command and understanding of the offense, and has great physical tools at his disposal. For starters, he’s got a cannon of an arm that he’s not afraid to utilize, but also has good touch on his deep balls and has gotten much better about just chucking into double coverage. It’s not hyperbole to say that he is probably the best thrower of the football that Louisville has had since Lamar Jackson.
Part of that is because Louisville’s strength on their defense is in their front seven. While the defense has certainly been imperfect, where they have done well in is in short yardage situations - which usually comes on third down. Now, if it’s third and long, Louisville has actually struggled some since they haven’t been particularly great in pass coverage at times.
