The Gamecocks dropped a 55-27 decision to Coastal Carolina last Friday at home, and certainly didn't play their best football. Jacksonville State turned the football over three times in the loss and gave up a number of big plays in the loss to open  the season.
"We have to be ready to play," Brohm said. "We did some good things last week but that's over with. We have a new challenge this week and we have to be ready to play."
Louisville opened the year with a 62-0 win over Austin Peay last Saturday.Tyler Shough made his debut going 18-of-24 for 232 yards and four touchdowns, tying the school mark for the most touchdowns in a UofL debut. Ja'Corey Brooks caught one of those touchdowns and Jadon Thompson added two more.
The defense pitched its third shut out in the last two seasons, holding Austin Peay to 106 yards of offense. Louisville recorded 14 tackles for loss and 7.0 sacks to win it's opener in impressive fashion.
Louisville will have to be better on Saturday when they face Jacksonville State's rushing attack under head coach Rich Rodriguez.
