Card Chronicle • • sports
Key Points:
- Louisville and Ole Miss will face off Sunday, Sept. 6 in Nashville, featuring top running backs Isaac Brown (Louisville) and Kewan Lacy (Ole Miss), with Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart looking to make an early Heisman statement.
- Louisville enters the season ranked No. 24 in the preseason AP poll and hopes transfer quarterback Lincoln Kienholz can boost their passing game under new coordinators.
- Louisville has consistently won at least nine games in Jeff Brohm’s first three years but has been held back by close losses; this season, they have a favorable schedule that excludes Miami and Clemson.
- Miami is considered the best ACC team and a national title contender but has never won the ACC, while Louisville, which beat Miami last season, could challenge them for conference supremacy.
- If Louisville avoids unexpected losses this season, they are a potential dark horse to reach the ACC Championship game in Charlotte and contend for a College Football Playoff spot.
