Louisville football and Eastern Kentucky are kicking off from L&N Stadium, and the Cardinals open up as dominant 38.5-point favorites. Eastern Kentucky has some solid players on its roster, including star running back Brayden Latham. The Colonels' running back is their top returning player on offense and has received high praise from his head coach, Walt Wells.
Last season, he was the backup to Joshua Carter, who ran for over 1,200 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns, and this season, he has the expectations of taking over Carter's position. While Latham ran for 662 yards on 147 carries last season, he must know he is in for a rude awakening tomorrow against the Cardinals.
