Ahead of Louisville Football's matchup with Jax State, Louisville Cardinals On SI sat down with Thomas Ashworth of AL.com to find out more about the Gamecocks.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - With the Louisville football program kicking off their season on a high note thanks to a demolition of Austin Peay, the Cardinals now set their sights on an opponent from the FBS ranks, welcoming Jacksonville State to L&N Stadium.
Last season, Jacksonville State averaged 20.3 seconds per play overall and under 20 seconds per play on the road, making Jacksonville State’s offense the fastest in the country; the end of the Sam Houston State game last season is a great example of the high-tempo offense making or breaking games. The Gamecocks also finished with the second-ranked rushing attack in Conference USA last season behind Liberty, averaging 236.
3. With JSU going with a two-QB system, what are the pros and cons that come with both Tyler Huff and Logan Smothers? Michael Pettway, P.J. Wells and Sean Brown are guys that have been a part of this offense for a long time and will aid in the passing attack. While Brown will tell you that he considers himself a sixth offensive lineman, the tight end is huge in the blocking and passing game for the Gamecocks; Pettway and Wells have both been with the Gamecocks since the Ohio Valley Conference days. Offensive linemen Clay Webb, Brock Robey and Will O’Steen are all strong returning guys, too.
