LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Jeff Brohm coaching era hosts its first game Friday, April 21 with the annual Spring Football Game.
The game is a 7 p.m. at L&N Stadium. Admission and parking for the game are free.
First-year Louisville head coach, Jeff Brohm, is back in his hometown, with his brothers Brian and Greg joining him on staff. The Cardinals are coming off an eight-win season and a win over Cincinnati in the Fenway Bowl. Fifteen starters from last year’s squad are back.
Brohm, who steered the Purdue Boilermakers for six successful seasons, brings back leading rusher Jawhar Jordan and three starters on the offensive line.
