Realistic expectations for Louisville football in 2024
Jeff Brohm did wonders for Louisville football in his first year as head coach back at his alma mater after taking over for Scott Satterfield. The Cardinals went 10-4 in his first season as head coach and they even made a trip to the ACC title game to face then-undefeated Florida State. They fell short, 16-6, in a sleepy matchup but it was a good sign that this program is turning around in a hurry under its new head coach. Brohm just feels like the perfect fit.

Game recap: Mud Hens fall 2-0 to Louisville Bats after starter Hurter exits after one pitch
After an ominous start with starting pitcher Brant Hurter exiting with an injury after one pitch, the Toledo Mud Hens filled in admirably on the mound, but could not break through offensively in a 2-0 loss to the Louisville Bats on Sunday at Fifth Third Field. On the game's first pitch, Louisville’s Blake Dunn pulled the ball down the first base line. Toledo first baseman Spencer Torkelson made a nice diving stop and flipped to Hurter who raced over from the mound to cover first for the out. However, Dunn collided with Hurter’s back and sent Hurter to the ground. Hurter attempted a few warmup pitches but could not push off his left leg on his left-handed delivery and was forced to abandon his start. It was a tough break for the 25-year-old, who was coming off six scoreless innings in his previous appearance.
