You want to know who’s gonna play for Louisville football, huh? I heard some folks talking ’bout it down at the market. This year’s team, they got some good ‘uns, I reckon. They is the Louisville Cardinals, you know. They play real good most of the time.
That quarterback, he’s the one throws the ball, right? They say he’s a good one. Last year we had that fella, what’s his name…Plummer? Yeah, Jack Plummer. He was alright. He ain’t here no more, went to the NFL. Now we got this new boy, from California. Heard he’s real fast, can run like the wind.
Who’s playin’ where
- Quarterback: They got this new boy, I done told ya. Heard he is good!
- Runnin’ Back: That’s the one who runs with the ball, ‘cept when the quarterback keeps it. They got a couple of those, always need more than one. One gets tired, you put another one in. Smart thinkin’, I’d say.
- Wide Receiver: These is the fellas that catch the ball way down the field. They’re usually skinny and fast. We got a few of them, too. Got one from down south, heard he can jump real high.
- Tight End: He’s a big fella, catches the ball sometimes, blocks the other team sometimes. Need a good one of those.
- Offensive Line: Those are the big boys up front. They gotta be strong to keep them other fellas from gettin’ to the quarterback. We got some big ‘uns, I tell ya. Heard one of ’em, they call him “Carter”, he’s new this year.
Now, on the other side, you got the defense. They gotta stop the other team from scorin’.
The Guys Stoppin’ the Other Team
- Defensive Line: They’re like the offensive line, but they try to get to the other team’s quarterback. Gotta be tough!
- Linebackers: They stand behind the defensive line. They gotta be smart and fast, know where the ball’s goin’.
- Cornerbacks: They try to stop the wide receivers from catchin’ the ball. Gotta be quick on your feet for that job.
- Safeties: They’re the last line of defense. If someone gets past everyone else, the safety’s gotta stop ’em. They’s like the goalie in a soccer game.
They got a whole bunch of these boys. Some of ’em are new, some of ’em have been playin’ for a while. They say this year’s team is pretty good. They picked up some good players. Some from other colleges even. This one fella, they say he’s a safety, name of Rodney. Hope he’s as good as they say.
That coach, Brohm, he seems to know what he’s doin’. Heard he was a good quarterback back in the day. He’s from ’round here, too. That’s always good, I reckon. Knows the area, knows the people.
They say they only got 15 new boys this year. That don’t seem like a lot, does it? I don’t know nothin’ about that, though. Just what I heard down at the Piggly Wiggly. They got some good sales this week, by the way. Two-for-one on pork chops.
They play that Notre Dame team this year. They’re supposed to be good. Always are, it seems. Hope our boys can beat ’em. It’ll be a tough game, I’m sure.
Anyway, that’s all I know ’bout the Louisville football starters. Just what I heard ’round town. They got a lot of names, these players. Hard to keep ’em all straight. But if you want to know who playin for Louisville football, I reckon that’s a good start.
I’m just hopin’ they have a good season. It’s fun to watch ’em play. Makes for a good Saturday afternoon, especially when they’re winnin’. Go Cards!
They got that one fella, number 0, Bell, I think his name is. He is a wide receiver. Heard he can run real fast. That is what they say, anyhow. And another one, number 81, Hicks, he plays the same position. They is both what they call “WR”. I reckon that is what they call them.
It is hard to know who is gonna be a starter for sure, you know? They got a lot of fellas on the team. But these ones, they seem like the ones gonna play a lot. I hope they do good. It is always nice to see the home team win.
They gonna have that game against Notre Dame, I done told you. That is gonna be a big one. I heard it is gonna be on the TV. You can watch it there. I think it is at 3:30, but you better check on that. I don’t always remember things right no more.
Well, that is all I know about the Louisville football team and who is startin’ and all that. I hope they win a lot of games. That is all that matters, right? Winnin’ games. That is what they s’posed to do. Go Cards! Louisville football starters are ready to play, I am sure!
