Think of these daily college football previews as a cheat sheet going into next year.
2022 Recap:
The Cards had an average year last year with a 4-4 conference record and an overall of 8-5. The defense was just outside the top ten in points allowed per game, only allowing an average of 19.2 points. The defense was the only bright side of the team which struggled on special teams, and the offense was in the bottom third of all college football. I can’t say factually, but the team seemed to have known that Satterfield was on his way out. The effort was on a different level when interim coach Deion Branch took over for the Fenway Bowl where they dominated the whole game. The Cards loved playing for Branch and the talent was there. They just needed a leader.
Head Coach:
The Cards have Jeff Brohm coming in as their head coach this year. Brohm comes over from Purdue where he had moderate success at the lower tiered Big 10 school. The offense at Purdue was very improved when Brohm took over, as he was a former QB. The issue he had at Purdue was acquiring and recruiting top tier talent. I personally think he will get much higher ranked recruits to play in his great system. If he can make Aidan O’Connell and Charlie Jones household names and All-Americans, I can’t wait to see what he does at Louisville.
Key Players:
Coach Brohm brought one of his guys over from Purdue in QB Jack Plummer. While Plummer started at Cal last season he completed 62.5 % of his throws for 3,095 yard with 21 touchdowns and 9 interceptions. He knows Brohm’s offense from Purdue when he started 13 games and played in 17 under Brohm. His numbers were good at 64.8% completion, 3,405 yards with 26 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He was in the system for 4 years; he knows all the ins and outs. The offense last year depended a lot on Malik Cunningham’s legs. This year it will be Plummer throwing to Jamari Trash, Jadon Thompson and Amari Huggins-Bruce.
2023 Prediction:
First off, they don’t have a nice little image of their schedule. So that’s bullshit. I think a goal for the Cards this year should be 8 wins and if they get to 9, it will be a great year. The Non-Conference isn’t that difficult with games against Murray State, Indiana, and of course the other team from the same state. They should win all of those games and 5 or 6 in conference will be a great year for the first year under Brohm.
