Louisville head coach Jeff Brohm is steadily building the Cardinals into a perennial top-tier program within the ACC. Being within the top 5 of the conference means more than a shot at a conference title these days. With the expansion of the College Football Playoffs and revenue sharing based upon how many eyes are on you during television appearances it has a far greater impact upon the success of a school’s athletic program.

Jody Demling, the Publisher of Cardinal Authority joins Will and Jim on ACC Nation to preview this year’s team. We start out with a look at the schedule and how Demling believes the Cardinals will perform. There are a number of major challenges, some of which may have a huge impact on who ends up in Charlotte for a shot at the ACC title.

Then, a look at the roster and how Demling feels about the offense and defense this season. With 40+ transfers (not unusual for teams in today’s environment) it becomes harder to preview a team. Some of the positions are filled by returning players while others are fresh boots on the ground. Will and Jody break down the strengths and weaknesses for Louisville.

It looks like an exciting year ahead for Louisville fans with a new quarterback in transfer Miller Moss. Moss will have Isaac Brown and Duke Watson in the backfield, veterans Chris Bell and Caullin Lacy at wide receiver and there are some important additions in the O-line that need to click to allow this offense to click. Hear what Demling thinks of the 2025 defense and how important it will be to the success of the team.
