- Pick/market: 24 Louisville (0-1) plays its home opener on Friday night when it welcomes Villanova (1-1) to L&N Stadium for a 7:00 p.m.

- QB/KICKER: He certainly was a different quarterback in the second half.

- Pick/market: what Coach had to say.

- Louisville used all three second-half timeouts in the third quarter to avoid play-clock problems, then tied Ole Miss without exhausting the clock and left the Rebels 1:28 and three timeouts for their winning possession. - Louisville receiver Tre Richardson supplied four catches for 83 yards with a 62-yard touchdown and a 30-yard rushing score, prompting CardinalAuthority's reviewers to call for more touches rather than reporting an announced change in his role. - CardinalAuthority attributed Louisville's second-half defensive deterioration to Ole Miss' up-tempo no-huddle offense keeping tired defenders on the field, with the secondary allowing multiple explosive plays after the defense forced three first-half turnovers. - Louisville quarterback Lincoln Kienholz recovered from a difficult first half to finish with more than 300 passing yards and a game-tying rushing touchdown, demonstrating second-half production despite early timing and composure problems. - Louisville kicker Carson Hilbert made his first three career field-goal attempts from 25, 46 and 45 yards, but a poor snap and a roughing-the-kicker penalty both contributed to Ole Miss points and remained special-teams execution concerns.

- QB/KICKER: The bad news: We beat ourselves with some really costly errors that were major factors in the outcome.

- KICKER: We had a long thread and discussion on the long snapper!

- Pick/market: Louisville gave itself a chance, but it wasn't enough.

- Pick/market: I know we probably won’t, because pollsters are clowns and don’t actually watch games, but we should go up in the rankings even losing that game.

- QB/KICKER: I hate losing especially with the mistakes like the punt snap and roughing the kicker that gave them points but the guys played hard against a really good team.

- QB/KICKER: Our opponent is ranked in the top 10 of the country, having been one possession away from a national championship last year, with the same legit Heisman quarterback and numerous returners.
