On ESPN\u2019s web show Always College Football<\/strong><\/em>, college football expert Greg McElroy<\/a><\/strong> takes his time to break down some of the more thought-provoking topics of the game. Recently, the former Alabama quarterback shared his thoughts on the Louisville Cardinals<\/strong><\/a> and whether or not they were being overlooked heading into 2024. And according to McElroy they are, despite their success from last season.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor Louisville, there\u2019s so much turnover,\u201d said McElroy<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cWe loved them last year, partly because I felt like some of the pieces that were flocking to Louisville by way of the portal were really, really solid, and I believe that much in Jeff Brohm<\/a><\/strong>. Now, this year, I don\u2019t think they\u2019re slept on as much as they were last year, but last year, you just got the sense that there was going to be a real \u2018us against the world\u2019 mentality\u2014 no one\u2019s talking about us; no ones respecting us.\u201d<\/p>\n

2023 was a prime year for Louisville as they were one of the top teams in the ACC. They finished the regular season with a 10-2 record and 7-1 in conference play. That earned them a spot in the ACC championship, where they were narrowly defeated by the No. 4 team in the nation, the Florida State Seminoles<\/strong><\/a>, 16-6.<\/p>\n

This year, McElroy believes that Louisville will have the element of surprise for a second year in a row. As he sees it, not enough attention is being placed on the ACC runner-ups in 2023, and more attention is being placed on the defending conference champs, Florida State, powerhouse Clemson<\/strong><\/a>, and the trendy pick in 2024, the Miami Hurricanes<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cJeff Brohm\u2019s gonna have the element of surprise up his sleeve throughout the course of the season. I think they have a good quarterback in Tyler Shough<\/a><\/strong>; [he\u2019s] gotta stay healthy. They\u2019ll be able to run the ball; I feel pretty confident about that. Defensively, you have some massive difference makers along the defensive line, including a guy that should be in All-American contention in Ashton Gillotte<\/a><\/strong> in the line of scrimmage.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cSo, I look at their personnel; I think Louisville\u2019s really solid. And no one seems to be really talking about them. All anyone\u2019s talking about in the ACC is Florida State, Miami<\/strong>, and Clemson<\/strong>\u2026 they\u2019re just sliding over there; them, alongside NC State [and] some other teams that have really good personnel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Louisville\u2019s 2024 schedule starts off favorable for the Cardinals but gets a little dicey at the back end of the season. Louisville will play four of its five final games on the road, with one of those games against Clemson at Memorial Stadium, the Tigers\u2019 home stadium.<\/p>\n

The Cardinals have the talent, the head coach, and the drive to be one of the better teams, if not the best team in the ACC in 2024. And with the lack of attention that they are getting despite their prowess, McElroy sees them shocking a handful of college football fans for the second year in a row.<\/p>\n
