CardinalAuthority’s Louisville Season Predictions: Strengths and Worries
- Isaac Brown and Keyjuan Brown give Louisville a high-end running-back tandem, with quarterback Lincoln Kienholz adding enough mobility for the ground game to project among the nation's best.
- Kienholz impressed the staff during fall camp and has ample skill-position support, but he enters the opener without a college start and remains Louisville's largest boom-or-bust offensive variable.
- Preseason All-American Clev Lubin leads a deep Louisville edge rotation that also includes AJ Green, Tyler Thompson, Micah Carter and Jerod Smith.
- Louisville replaced nearly all of its defensive-tackle production through the portal, but the rebuilt group was quiet during fall camp and Jeff Brohm described it as inexperienced.
- Anwar O'Neal's injury setback forced first-team offensive-line changes and reduced Louisville's planned seven- or eight-man rotation to six players entering the opener.

What I Know, What I Think About Louisville’s Showdown with No. 9 Ole Miss
- Louisville says first-time starter Lincoln Kienholz made major camp gains in comfort, leadership and command of Jeff Brohm's offense after a full offseason in the system.
- Louisville's preferred Ole Miss plan is to establish Isaac Brown and Keyjuan Brown, use Kienholz's mobility selectively and avoid asking him to match veteran Trinidad Chambliss throw for throw.
- Isaac Brown is fresh and healthy after Louisville managed his camp workload, and he returns from an injury-shortened 884-yard, seven-touchdown 2025 season.
- Louisville's upset path requires winning the turnover battle, limiting Ole Miss explosives and giving Kienholz time to find a rhythm behind the run game.
