Well, Mercifully, this season is over. No reason to try and place blame on coaches, players, fans, administration or even Kragthorpe. It’s hard to hear or accept it but Louisville has hit rock bottom. No need to hang your heads and complain because things are about to get a lot better. We, as fans,…

Last Season: After spending the prior two seasons as one of the worst teams in pass protection, Louisville’s offensive line had better results in 2017. The Cardinals finished 104th in the country in sacks allowed (33), which is a 30% drop from 2016. Where it shined, though, was in run blocking. According to footballoutsiders.com, Louisville was…
The biggest question going into this football season for the Louisville Cardinals was the offensive line. The Cards finished the 2016-17 season allowing 22 sacks in the final three games, finished 126th out of 128 in sacks allowed (47) and allowed the most sack yards in the country for the second straight year. After just…
Robbie Bell and Kenny Thomas spoke with the media after Tuesday’s practice. They talk about the progress the O line has made since last year, the improved pass and run blocking as well as the learning experience. LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Heading into fall camp looking to fill three positions on the offensive line, the University…
Last Year: It was a brutal finish for the Louisville offensive line in 2016. The Cards ranked 126th in sacks allowed (47), including an FBS-worst 33 on road/neutral site games. The team had a very bad stretch towards the end, with 27 sacks allowed in the final four games (including 11 at Houston and eight…
After looking at the first edition of the depth chart, I noticed some guy named Lamar at quarterback. I hear he is pretty good so I guess there is no need to discuss that position unless you noticed that the back up is officially listed as “Puma Pass.”
Last season: Plain and simple, this was a young group that experienced some major growing pains last season. Louisville started a lot of freshmen at basically every position on the line except for center (which, ironically, was manned by an upperclassmen). In spite of their youth, and facing some top notch defensive lines like Texas A&M and Clemson,…
ESPN’s David Hale put out an article this week that addressed the ACC Atlantic Division’s biggest Wild-Cards. Of course there was a specific position that he felt may or may not be in that position. The point he brought up even Stevie Wonder could see: Our ? at Offensive Line. Last year we were very young…
Here is the fourth of the Spring Football breakdowns by the fine folks at @UofLFootball. This one is for the Offensive Line position. A position that was young last year becomes a strength this year with 4 starters returning on the line. So you are telling me that Lamar was running behind a young, unexperienced line & this year they…

The regular season may be over, but recruiting season is in full swing for college football. Bobby Petrino and his staff will be hosting a crop of impressive visitors this weekend. Most of them are committed to other schools, so we will see if any of them flip to UofL. Let’s take a look at…
