Louisville Football: Three Audacious Forecasts for 2024
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The college football offseason might be in full swing, but we are actually just over 100 days away from Louisville returning to the gridiron of L&N Stadium to face Austin Peay and kick off year two of the Jeff Brohm era.
There is still plenty that will unfold over summer workouts and fall camp, but with that being said, here are our three bold predictions regarding the Cardinals’ upcoming 2024 season:
This upcoming season, Louisville’s passing attack is expected to take a big step forward, and transfer wide receivers Ja’Corey Brooks and Caullin Lacy will be a big reason why. While Brooks was limited last season at Alabama due to injury, the former five-star prospect was one of Bryce Young’s favorite targets during the 2022 season, catching 39 passes for 674 yards and a team-best eight touchdowns. Additionally, Lacy was one of the most prolific wideouts in college football last season at South Alabama, logging 91 passes for 1,316 yards and seven touchdowns, with the receptions mark good for fifth in the FBS and the yardage mark coming in at sixth. Add in the fact that Texas Tech transfer QB Tyler Shough looked great during the spring, and that Louisville’s various transfer pickups at tight end will help take pressure off of the wide receivers, it’s not inconceivable to have two 1,000-yard receivers. After all, Brohm was able to do it in 2016 during his final year at WKU, and came close to doing it in 2019 at Purdue.
