Playboy's 2008 Top 50 College Football Rankings

« prev - home - next »

38. Louisville

Coach:
Steve Kragthorpe attempts his second season after taking over for Bobby Petrino.

Last season:
A disappointing 6 and 6.

Studs: The Cardinals have two excellent offensive linemen in center Eric Wood and tackle George Bussey. Hunter Caldwell takes over Brian Brohm's spot at quarterback now that Brohm has migrated to the NFL. Caldwell is unproven but has a rocket for an arm. Bilal Powell is a star in the making at running back.

Scoop: Former Michigan assistant Ron English takes over as defensive coordinator but the talent he has to work with is very young and there isn't enough of it. Tackle Adrian Grady and corner Woodny Turenne are players but the rest of the defense is a question mark. The schedule works in Louisville's favor with eight games at home.

Prediction: 7-5
