Louisville football: Blanton Creque leaves huge hole on special teams

As the Louisville football program heads into the bye week with their confidence at an all-time high, they’ll do so without arguably their most important, and consistent player.

For a program who is already short on bodies, losing anyone to injury is a blow to the gut, but losing one of the greatest kickers in school history will likely have a significant effect on the final stretch of the season.

After an incredible start to the 2019 season which included going 8 of 11 on field goals, including the game-winning kick against Boston College that earned him the nickname “Cold Blooded Creque” by teammates as well as going 33/33 on extra points, Louisville senior kicker Blanton Creque’s season came to an end on Saturday.
