Louisville Looks to Turn the Page Friday Night Versus Boston College
October 21, 2024 | Football
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Jeff Brohm and the University of Louisville football team will look to get back in the win column as they travel to the East Coast to face Boston College on Friday night.
"It's a short week so we're back to work, a lot of things to work on to find ways to improve. That's what we're addressing now, and you know that's football season, you got to adjust to what's happening, improve on weaknesses, and work through it. We are going to work hard to get better this week, we got a good opponent who is playing some good football"
The Cardinals are coming off a hard-fought loss to sixth ranked Miami, 52-45 last Saturday at L&N Stadium. This marked the third loss of the season for UofL, all coming within a touchdown.
"Well, the only thing you can do is you know address this situation all year long. When you go through a football season, if you're not prepared for the ups and downs going into it, then it's going to catch you off guard and you're not going to be able to adjust. So, we talk about simple things: it's got to be a one-game season once we get to the season, no matter whether we win or lose."
Louisville will have a quick turnaround this week as they prepare for Boston College on Friday. The Cardinals defeated the Eagles last season in a high scoring afair, with UofL prevailing 56-28 at L&N Stadium. Boston College is 4-3 on the season and 1-2 in Atlantic Coast Conference play under first year head coach Bill O'Brien.
"Well, they've done a good job, they've started hot with a big win against Florida State. They've played Missouri right down to the wire. They've had the lead on Virginia, and let it slip away. You know they're well coached, Coach O'Brien has been there and done that and coached at the highest level. They play hard nose football; they've got a quarterback that can run and throw. That's presented us problems … and we've got to find ways to have some balance on offense and score points."
The Cardinal's defense will face its fifth mobile quarterback of the season in Thomas Castellanos. Castellanos has been efficient so far this season, completing 66% of his passes for 1188 yards and 14 touchdowns, with one rushing touchdown and just four interceptions.
"He presents challenges so we're going to have to have a really good plan and execute it. We have to be conscious of his athleticism with the ball the in his hands. They do a great job with him. He can run it, pull it down on a zone read and scramble. Even though we had one of our better games last year against Boston College because we were hitting on all cylinders on offense, but he still made a lot of plays. If the game would've been closer, it would have been a different story. He definitely keeps them in the ball game, and they rely heavy on his strengths."
