Louisville achieved a milestone under first-year coach and native son Jeff Brohm, reaching the ACC championship game before losing to Florida State. The Cardinals now aim to follow up their 10-win season by getting back. Louisville lost several key offensive players, leaving it to a stingy defense to lead the way early on.

“We want the expectations high,” Brohm added. “Outside, we really don’t care but internally, they are and we want to try to play at a high level and figure out a way to play better than we did last year and in as many aspects as we can. It needs to show up on the field, by our play and by the results.”The Cardinals have big shoes to fill with the departures of running backs Jawhar Jordan and Isaac Guerendo, who combined for 1,938 yards rushing and 24 touchdowns, and receiver Jamari Thrash .
“Their aptitude has been awesome,” he said. “We’re still going to put a few more things in there, but their aptitude is really good in terms of understanding what we’re asking them to do and doing it.”Defensive back M.J. Griffin has recovered from last August’s season-ending knee injury and is eager to pick up where he left off after 45 tackles and two interception as a junior. His return bolsters one of Louisville’s deepest units and also seeking growth after allowing 217.1 yards per contest.
