Nice looking site, but I have to think Saturday's loss means his Heisman campaign takes a bit of a hit, don't you think?

[mervinout]

ya but if they win the big east or goto a bcs game he still has a shot. Intresting article by a wvu student in the student paper. He was talking about how their is no real exciting pick. Mcfadden isnt that good as advertised which i agree with. Slatong and White are good players, but they outshine eachother each week. One week slaton looks better then white, then the next its white that looks better. Colt Brennahan(sp?) plays at hawaii. Brian Brohm got **** luck when he had no defense. But he still putting up crazy numbers. He went onto say if they make a bcs game that he thinks brohm will win it.

I don't think anyone is out just yet. Yes, the team defensive dysfunction makes one wonder, but they may adjust and become better; it's still early in the season. I don't think they will be as good a defense as last year though. Seems as though Louisville needs a co-defensive coordinator system like last year. They don't have it because Kragthorpes right hand man on defense moved to Louisville and decided he wanted to be back where his family was more comfortable in Tulsa.

Seems to me it is still going to be a player who dazzels us in the big game. That means Slaton and White, McFadden, Ray Rice are still in the mix. Whoever can make the highlight reals on the ESPN top 10 every week.

Brohm will use any postive thought to motivate him for the next game, I'm sure.

Hmm, I agree with the thinking that there aren't any real, exciting picks right now. I'm starting to get the feeling that it might be a dark horse, someone who wasn't on everyone's radar at the start of the season - someone who really knocks our socks off, coming out of left field.

Man, you gotta feel bad for Brohm.

He completed 45-of-65 passes for a career-high 555 yards and four scores today, and they lost to Syracuse. Unbelievable.

Brohm is 2-2 now...and Colt Brennan can match him 400 yard day for 400 yard day...I think the Heisman is going elsewhere...

Brennan didn't play Saturday, though. I think that hurts him, not to mention his cream puff schedule.

Tidbits
Brohm's 555 passing yards set a new Big East Conference record, breaking the mark of 504 set by Virginia Tech's Bryan Randall in 2002 against Syracuse. His 45 completions and 65 attempts were also conference records.
Brohm has 8,448 career passing yards, which is only 1,117 fewer than Big East career leader Ken Dorsey of Miami. Brohm has 7,629 passing yards since the Cards entered the Big East.

Interesting. I thought I had heard that he broke the Big East single-game passing record, but couldn't find anything about it later. And he should easily pass Dorsey before the end of the year. Somehow I get great pleasure in seeing him break the record - after all, Dorsey was a great quarterback, but the school he played for got scared, turned tail and ran to the ACC.

Brohm: the team player

My comments……..

Brohm’s heisman hopes may have disappeared but he would win as honorary team/community player.

He came back to play this year to win a NC but also to help continue Louisville’s name as great place to play football.

Reason Brohm’s passing numbers were lower this week (although not that bad)-the first time in eight games he hasn't topped the 300-yard mark

• 2nd leading receiver(Douglas) in the nation was injured and didn’t play (Harry Douglas is the equivalent of Deon Branch ..of MVP superbowl fame).He has caught 25 passes for 428 yards the past two weeks, Louisville recording back-to-back games of more than 200 yards receiving.
• over the past two weeks they took probably more heat than this program has ever taken
• after the disappointing defeat department — these Cardinals might have stopped worrying about the score and started worrying more about the result
• instead of the quick pace high octane offense it was more about controlling the clock

First Downs 26
Rush- yards 47-247
Passing- Att-Int 20-35-1
Possession time 38:18 (Louisville)
21:42 (NC State)

Brohm’s comments after the NC State game:

“It just feels good to win, no matter how you do it,” said Brohm, who has suffered losses in two of his three biggest passing games. “When you have adversity like this, there’s only two ways to go: crumble and fall apart and everyone blame each other, or you can become closer and tighter than you’ve ever been. And that’s what we chose to do.”

With his 350 yards in yesterday's win against Cincinnati, U of L QB Brian Brohm moved into second place on the all-time passing yardage list in Big East history. A look at the top five:
1. Ken Dorsey, Miami 1999-02 9,565
2. Brian Brohm, U of L, 2004-07 8,697
3. Ryan Hart, Rutgers, 2002-05 8,482
4. Donovan McNabb, Syracuse, 1995-98 8,389
5. Tyler Palko, Pittsburgh, 2002-06 8,343

I hope he breaks that record soon. I don't want someone from an ACC school holding a Big East record.
