SESSION NOTES
NOTES
- Louisville beat SMU, snapping a losing streak in the series ("pony-sized monkey off our backs"); win keeps the Cards in the driver's seat for the ACC Championship, with hosts noting they needed to go 2-1 in the Nova/Ole Miss/SMU stretch and did.
- Offensive line play was much improved with Anwar O'Neal back at left tackle, though PFF's individual pass-block grades (O'Neal an 11, Kaysen Henry a 14) were seen as absurdly low compared to actual film/eye-test performance.
- Run game exploded: Isaac Brown (~7 yards/carry) and Keiwan Barnes/Barnes-type back (~13-14 yards/carry) both had big rushing days; QB Lincoln Kienolds hit his 3rd game this season with both a passing and rushing TD, putting him 3rd all-time at Louisville behind Lamar Jackson and Malik Cunningham.
- Defense generated 18 pressures, 2 QB hits, and 3 sacks per PFF (Clev Lubin 2, Tyler Thompson 1), but linebacker gap discipline/communication issues let SMU's Kendrick Raphael have an inflated rushing day; interior D-line held up better than the criticism suggested.
- Standout individual defensive performances: Caleb Beasley (now clearly the free safety, strong in coverage and run support), Clev Lubin (held up vs. a projected first-round LT), and Micah Carter (limited snaps but excellent run-game discipline on reverses/jet motion, deserves more playing time).
ACTION ITEMS
- Unassigned: Continue tracking the "Sack King" leaderboard (Clev Lubin and Tyler Thompson currently tied at 2) as the season progresses.
- Unassigned: Push for Caleb Beasley to remain the every-down free safety given his performance.
- Unassigned: Explore ways to get Micah Carter more defensive snaps (e.g., moving him to a 3-tech or different alignment).
- Unassigned: Emphasize better linebacker gap fits/communication in practice to clean up run-defense mistakes.
- Unassigned: Keep clock management as a focus area for improvement in upcoming games.
