In both the AP poll and USA Today Coaches poll, the Louisville Cardinals are ranked 29th. This schedule of games is always based on the AP poll, so I will stay consistent with that. In that poll, Clemson is 26th. They are 25th in the Coaches poll. Interesting that both of the Mississippi schools are…

It was confirmed late Friday night that freshman wide receiver Cameron Polk has been dismissed from the University of Louisville football team. Polk received a drug citation from university police on Wednesday. “Cameron Polk has been dismissed from the team,” U of L coach Bobby Petrino said in a statement to The Courier-Journal. “I do…
The following was posted back in August by Spencer York of shakininthesouthland.com, Clemson’s SB Nation site. He gives a great rundown of things to do and places to go if you are visiting Clemson for the first time. I figure fans are probably on their way down now or later this afternoon, so this could…
Unless you are subscribed to our e-mail list, which sends you an e-mail every time a new post is made on CardinalSportsZone.com, there may be some things you miss during the week. By the way, getting on that e-mail list is a GREAT idea, not to mention easy. On that column there on the right…
If you were able to catch the podcast that I was on the other night, you also got to hear a lot of ACC knowledge from Mr. Jeff Fann. Jeff runs the site AllSportsDiscussion.com, which focuses on the ACC but just as the name says, will also talk about anything in sports….
The following write up comes from Chris Hall, who is a big-time fan of the Clemson Tigers. In fact, his twitter profile says “my blood runs Clemson Orange.” So you have to appreciate that passion. Chris also has his own blog, sportstalkwithchrishall.blogspot.com, and he was nice enough to send us a personal game preview for…
Louisville’s offensive and defensive coordinators, Garrick McGee an Todd Grantham (respectively), met with the media over the last couple of days to discuss the upcoming game against Clemson. They also talked about their own team a little bit. The links to the videos are provided, as well as summaries of key notes they talked about….
Here are the transcripts from Wednesday’s ACC teleconference for Bobby Petrino and Dabo Swinney. Bobby Petrino – Louisville BOBBY PETRINO: We’re coming off a good road win at Syracuse where we had to fight hard to win the game in the fourth quarter, which I thought was really good for our football team. Defensively we’re playing at a very high…
One thing I do like about Clemson so far is how much media coverage they give heading into a game. You have video of Dabo Swinney and his two coordinators talking, and now 11 players previewing Louisville. Pretty nice stuff to have when you are learning about your opponent. This sounds weird, but check out…
Here are a few videos of the Clemson coaches previewing the Louisville Cardinals. This is a very exciting week! Head Coach Dabo Swinney
On Sunday night, I had the great opportunity to be a guest on an ACC podcast with a couple of fellow bloggers from the conference. @HokieSmash and @TalkinACCSports from allsportsdiscussion.com were gracious enough to allow me to come on and talk about the crazy week in college football, and of course we talked about the…
For all of the criticism surrounding the play of Louisville’s offensive line, the Clemson Tigers enter Saturday with plenty of question marks of their own. The local paper, GreenvilleOnline.com, explains it a little more. Clemson has endured a rash of injuries and setbacks along the offensive line. That has transformed the depth chart into a shallow…
Soooo apparently some Clemson folks are trying to spread the word about having a “silent out” before the game on Saturday. They were not happy when Bobby Petrino said that playing in Death Valley this week will be similar to playing in the Carrier Dome at Syracuse when it comes to noise level. “I don’t…
On Monday afternoon, Bobby Petrino met with the media for his weekly press conference. He talked about Syracuse, previewed Clemson, and said that “there’s a good chance” that DeVante Parker will play on Saturday. Check out the video from thecrunchzone.com or just read the transcript below. Or do both, that is also an option. Opening…

According to FBSchedules.com, UL and Kentucky have extended the series through 2019. I thought for sure this series would become extinct but kudos to the two schools for getting it done.
The Cards dropped big time after the loss to Virginia in the ACCPP. It’s a loss that doesn’t look as bad now with their great play. Jeff Fishel from the ACCDN has put out his newest Power Poll rankings and we get a little R E S P E C T this week. Enjoy! Go…
When the news came out about DeVante Parker’s foot injury back on August 25th, the prognosis was that he would be out 6-8 weeks. Today marks 6 weeks from that time. We knew it would be sometime in the range of the Clemson and Florida State games. SportsInsights.com has tweeted that Parker is now questionable for…
The ACC has announced time and TV for games on October 18. The Louisville vs NC State game at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium will kickoff at 3:30 pm ET. The schedule has the TV listed as “Raycom Sports Network.” I am assuming that means WHAS or WAVE locally, since they have split the games on…
Well this week is going to be fun!
