Opponent Breakdown: Villanova Wildcats Defense

The Villanova Wildcats’ defense has started the year off with mixed results after a rough loss to William & Mary, followed by a strong performance against Bucknell.

Seedy K’s GameCap: Ole Miss

Last night’s was the first Cardinal football game since The Professor passed away. He loved college football. He loved the U of L Cards.

TRE RICHARDSON #0 Height: 5’10”  Weight: 175lb Position: WR Class: Senior Hometown: Topeka, KS Summary: In nearly every single Jeff Brohm season since he began his coaching career I believe there has been a player who has been identified preseason as a guy who will “excel in the Brohm offense”, and for those keeping tabs, […]

LOUISVILLE’S INTERIOR OFFENSIVE LINE WILL HAVE THEIR HANDS FULL It seems at times that the great “SEC Defensive Linemen” are mythologized as if they are gods, but I would challenge anyone to watch the highlights of the Ole Miss defensive line and not understand it a little bit. Will Echoles is going to be a […]

The Kool-Aid red unis didn’t work out too well against these guys five years ago, so I’m good with rocking the all whites. Thoughts?
