Louisville Football Kicking Game Woes: Brohm Demands Improvement

Louisville Head Coach Jeff Brohm has publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the Cardinals' kicking game, labeling it "not great" during a recent Fall Camp practice. Brohm highlighted a lack of confidence and the urgent need for consistency across extra points, field goals, kickoffs, and punting.

The Cardinals face a significant challenge as they lost both their starting punter and kicker from the previous season. The team's placekicker transferred to Tennessee, and their punter graduated, with the heir apparent also transferring. This leaves a competitive but uncertain situation for the upcoming season.

Brohm acknowledged that the team has four weeks to address these issues before their season opener against No. 10 Ole Miss on August 26. The coach stressed that the kicking game's performance is crucial, especially considering Louisville's history of close games. The team has a 10-9 record in one-score games under Brohm, and consistency in kicking is vital for achieving their goals in 2026.
