Louisville’s First Home Game Against Villanova | Louisville Football News

Louisville football returns home this Friday night against Villanova in a historic first-ever matchup, kicking off their season at L&N Stadium. After a heartbreaker against Ole Miss — rallying from 14 down to tie it before a last-second field goal — the Cardinals showed grit, scoring 32 points in the second half under Coach Brohm. Freshman QB Lincoln Kienholz dazzled in his debut, throwing for over 300 yards, rushing for nearly 70, and accounting for three touchdowns — while tying for the nation’s lead in long passes among QBs with just one game played. Transfer receivers Richardson and McCoy delivered big plays, and sophomore kicker Carson Hilbert nailed all three field goals in his debut — carrying on family tradition, as his dad once kicked for Louisville. With momentum on their side and a hungry home crowd, the Cardinals aim to bounce back and build on their second-half surge.
