To anybody who has seen Louisville play (I have not) how good are they honestly ?
- Thread starter Uncle Adolph
- Start date
Against GT, they were pretty good in the second half. 26-0.
Against Murray, they were pretty good. 56-0.
Against Indiana, they were pretty good in the first half. 21-0.
The rest of the time they were not good. Not good at all. 7-42.

They have a pretty good team.
They will improve over time.
They will be a tough game for us.

They can move the ball, Plummer seems to be a pretty good QB and can run when needed. Pretty good rushing attack at this point. Still think they’re a little small up front on defense, at least it looks that way. They’re 3-0 with wins over two P5 teams so their floor is probably eight with ten a possibility. Like us, still too early to tell what’s really going on with a lot of schools.
WITH THEIR SCHEDULE IF BROHM DOESNT WIN 8 GAMES, HE SHOULD BE FIRED.
Their RB's and DB's kind of stood out to me. Looked like a drop off from the starting QB to the backup. Kind of hard to tell with who they have played.
Not very good, but they're getting lots of lucky breaks to remain undefeated. Probably should have lost at least one game and possibly 2. GT blew a 15 pt. lead and was in FG range late to win the game (fumbled). IU roared back from 21-0 down and called an idiotic play on 4th and goal from the 1 that would have tied game.
They're not good, but their schedule is awful and Brohm is good in rivalry games. Will be a tough game to win.

They're about as good as we've played the first 3 games. If we improve we should win. If not, it will be a tough game.
What will you be doing that day since you already have us down for an L?
Look better coached but I’m not a fan of Plummer. Very, very medicore.
You said we suck in your own way, so why watch? Save yourself the pain and go shopping or something.
Kentucky is still receiving more votes in the Ap and Coaches polls than Louisville.
And we aren't exactly playing too hot right now.
Do those Coaches and AP voters not know the Great Bear Brohm is on a Collison course with a national championship? 😏

Think they are a lot like us and they look inconsistent most of the time. Neither team has played anyone worth a damn.
They may have the program’s most favorable schedule since entering the ACC. I think Brohm is a good coach but not great just like ours. Lots of parallels in the programs right now. I know Satterfield seemed soft and not great but he stabilized that place after Petrino left a crater in it. Brohm took over a decent spot with the roster and schedule. Still think the difference in us is their OL vs our DL. It used to be we had a huge advantage on both lines but our OL has shit the bed the last 2 years.

We’re going into game 4 and y’all by far and away have your toughest game next, and it’s Vanderbilt? Don’t talk about easy schedules, USF played toe to toe with Alabama.
Lucky for us, a schedule isn’t 4 games you dufus. We play teams with a pulse in conference. Y’all, don’t.
I guess I should have said that neither team has murderers row, maybe both should win a minimum of 8?
Your schedule is not in anyway comparable to playing Georgia , Florida , tennessee , and Alabama.
Florida, Tennessee, and Alabama aren’t great teams this year, no more so than ND, Miami, Duke.
Yeah, crazy having to deal with that. Also, injuries going through the SEC is a big factor in the UL game. Why we can't get away with just going two deep everywhere. Takes a ton more top players than what an ACC team has to have to survive the season.
Your schedule is far and away the easiest schedule of the power conferences and it is not even close.
I don't see how anyone can knock their schedule, they play 11 P5 teams and 4 of them are undefeated today. They play who their conference schedules them to play. And that conference is 4-1 against SEC at this point and some of those are against our better teams.
A poll in the preseason had you guys 1 or 2 easiest. Also, most "experts" have the ACC as the weakest of the FBS conferences to this point. That fact alone should tell you that you are not even close to UK's schedule. But, we have this argument every year. You guys were denying this when you were in the Metro, or Conference USA, or the Big Least, or whatever other conferences you could not get/earn respect in.
You’re saying opinions are facts? How about what has actually been proven on the field? I don’t think any P5 team has an easier first four games than you guys.
We are talking full schedule and there is no argument we have had an easy early schedule, but in most polls and articles from sports writers to fans I have yet to come across a ranking that puts UL in the top 100 in Div I when it comes to SOS. I have seen UK's as high as 11th. Again, there is no comparison.
A similar statement was posted several weeks ago, but no one ever supplied the link when requested.

You can always find one to fit your agenda as can I. The one below has you guys at about 115 and UK 11th as stated earlier. Now, both yours and mine were pre season and things can change as the season progresses but, historically, UK schedule has been and will be generally tougher since we play in the SEC.
Seems like a good team. Hard to tell. First half against IU, they seemed really impressive with big plays, scoring 21. But, they did not score again. Comparative scoring is often meaningless, as college football is more about matchups, but IU beat Indiana St about the same as Ball State beat ISU. Ohio State beat IU 23-3 and Ole Miss beat Georgia Tech 48-23.
UL has a really fast/quick WR who can put up some yards. Plummer is experienced and probably a fine college QB. The team seems to have speed.
They get Notre Dame in 2 weeks, I believe. The test.

This dumb ass doesn’t understand a schedule is not the first 4 games. I tried explaining it to him.
