Louisville Cardinals Face Eastern Kentucky Colonels

Jeff Brohm has guided the Louisville Cardinals to 19 victories in his first two seasons, but the team is now focused on advancing to the College Football Playoff. Their campaign kicks off in Week 1 at L&N Federal Credit Union Stadium against the Eastern Kentucky Colonels. Although the Cardinals are heavily favored, they face challenges that the FCS opponent will present. The 2025 offense is expected to emphasize a strong running game, led by returning players Isaac Brown and Duke Watson. However, integrating new quarterback Miller Moss, a transfer from USC, into the offense is crucial. Brohm has successfully adapted to changes at quarterback in the past, but it remains to be seen how well Moss will perform, especially if the passing game struggles against Eastern Kentucky. A lackluster performance could signal trouble for the season ahead, making it vital for Moss to quickly develop chemistry with his receivers while keeping the running backs fresh for tougher ACC matchups later in the season.
