A national college football reporter has given Louisville football some early preseason love.

It was a disaster season for Louisville football in 2020 after the program earned a lot of praise in the preseason. In what was considered to be a “throw away” year for many programs throughout the college football landscape, Louisville was champing at the bit to include themselves in that discussion.

The Cardinals finished 4-7 overall on the year and won just three ACC games after certain outlets had projected them to be dark horse ACC contenders to compete with Clemson.
