Jeff Brohm shifts focus from play-calling to defense at Louisville
Summary

Louisville head coach Jeff Brohm has prioritized winning over his play-calling duties this season.

In Week 6, Louisville's defense made significant adjustments, contributing to a 44-20 victory over Florida State, marking the team’s largest margin of victory against an ACC opponent since 2024. Brohm’s hands-on approach aimed to address communication issues and execution problems that had plagued his team early in the season, especially against Florida State’s offense.
