http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/team/188 Recent articles about the Louisville Cardinals en-us Will Stein apparently didn’t know he was going to be the University of Louisville’s starting quarterback until Friday. No surprise. Steve Kragthorpe is adept as keeping everyone guessing. This has to mean that either Adam Froman or Justin Burke must have taking lots of snaps in the week before the West Virginia game.  Or maybe Zach [...] Sat, 07 Nov 2009 16:38:37 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/Kragthorpe_Makes_Will_Stein_The_Fall_Guy/1520075 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/Kragthorpe_Makes_Will_Stein_The_Fall_Guy/1520075 LOUISVILLE CARDINALS (3-5, 0-3) AT WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAINEERS (6-2, 2-1) Game Time: Noon Location: Mountaineer Field at Milan-Puskar Stadium: Morgantown, W.

It's the reason behind the lack of stimulating (or at least wordy) postgame and pregame blather on this site. I still care and I still want the Cards to win every time they take the field, it's just that now, with rare exception, I expect them to lose and am not surprised in the least when they lose by a lot. That's really all I can say. This su...

Some players claim it makes them tougher, some claim it teaches patience, while others do it to pay homage to their heritage. I claim it makes them easier to tackle, so grab 'em dreadlocks!

They might not have started last year, they may not have won the starting job this spring, but they have the skills to change games if given the chance. Draft these players at your own risk, but the upside they possess might just make them a one of the steals during your draft and take your fantasy college football team from mediocre to champion.
