Stadium a time of Hope and optimism here in the Louisville spring game a sunny breezy evening in Louisville couple of weeks away from the run from the Run for the Roses four months away from seeing football players break out of the games in 22 final six games last year with a broken leg but he's healthy and ready to go Maurice Turner is the tailback to Shuck's right shuck to the far sideline and that is caught incomplete and down the our sideline is Chris Bell at the 20 at the 10 and how about that start to the spring game it's a pretty good one well Matt one of the big things big plays who are The Playmakers when you lose a receiver like thrash you start looking around who can replace that explosiveness and right off the bat chrison with the point after and 7 nothing trans from Miami gets the handoff and if you'll notice it's a it's a thud type of game Pierce Clarkson certainly came into Louisville with a lot of fanfare slant on the inside that is caught and a minimal gain it looked like CIS qataris Hicks the sophomore fourstar Prospect when he came out of high school third down and six over the middle and that's a nice grab over the middle that's Antonio Meeks can score as well we'll run down that scoring system in just a little bit in this spring game format Clarkson looking over the middle and just in and out of the hands of the A4 mentioned Meeks yeah a lot of opportunities here on both sides of the ball eliminate the tackling frustrate the defensive guys that's it Clarkson with the far sideline that is Donald Cheney and Chan's in the back field out to the right now Clarkson Clarkson over the middle has his man and it's caught Jaden King into the end zone for the [Applause] touchdown I think we're seeing right off the bat the attempt to integrate more vertical throws in this offense than they had last year tremendous launch and catch and early on out of this offense point after is good Clarks at four of five batrick Rod Gilmore red white spring game here in Louisville 14- nothing team white Tyler shuck remains in at quarterback Kean Brown around the far side and again no tackling we're just thuing tonight that's kiwan brown p.com slat Chuck again inside to Chris Bell who caught the first touchdown of the game and that is something that Jeff Bram certainly wants to accentuate here with this offense run up the middle it's again kiwan Brown it's here tonight officially the give to Brown you know Matt this this offensive line group an awful lot Braum says it's the most depth he's ever had with an offensive line chuck to the far side and that is complete that's calling Lacy he look you know what you want to play to your strengths what are your strengths an offensive line was one of the first two things off the tip of his tongue that's a good thing to have here shuck with the G and a nice tackle behind the line of scrimmage Isaac Brown inside their own 45 a chance for the defense to come up with a few points with a fourth down stop Chuck over the middle and that's in and out of the hands of the intended receiver season in program history 14 and 1 half tackles for loss Harrison Bailey now in at quarterback we talked about that battle for the backup guaris Hicks is brown The Freshman is to his right and with the green jersey not going to go very far for the offense Isaac Brown splits wide now back next to Bailey the rush is on Bailey in its face and that one is in and out of the hands of the intended receiver that's and shuck is 24 will be 25 in September shuck going to show off that arm again off his back foot nearly a turnover that went through the hands of Devin Neil is with the pass off to The Far Side that's Turner out of the back field on a second down and 10 play running back room yeah I'm not sure it's realistic to expect to find one back to replace Jordan Chuck steps up in the pocket nearly picked off there as that was batted up into the air pretty lucky Brady Allen now in at quarterback hean Brown in the backfield about some of that Bram trickeration back to Allen on the far side sporting the green jersey past Midfield and he is touched around the 40 yd line if we had a couple of floored passes what do we have there R of course oh hands to the face I think we had hands Brady Allen former transfer from Purdue still in at quarterback Donald Cheney the Miami transfer manand that I know you listen to two on your mixtape when you're right into work I got it on my playlist Allen over the middle that's a nice pass and caught whistle still not blown and now finally is sure that guy's here right now hand off a nice tackle at the line of scrimmage lot of red jerseys we's been banged up and hasn't been able to to play he might be a guy that could give them what they're looking for yeah Brooks has been dealing with laam surgery they hope he's believe he's healed up but no the older brother Greg as well who's the chief of staff here it certainly is a a family Affairs that one is Tipp back to Brady Allen who Toes that one out of bounds some trickeration from coach Braum up in the booth and Braum on the uncle then brother to brother a nice Rush there on the play you would think that should be ruled as a sack there from the defensive front that's what themselves they certainly do it's third down and 10 Isaac Brown in the back field that's Brady Allen at quarterback finds his man and our defense is doing a pretty good job that was Chris Hughes second time we've called his name today Allen little back shoulder throw but how about maybe a little offensive pass interference that's JoJo Stone The Freshman out of Georgia gain of 20 the helmet communication going to be really interesting to track and how that impacts the game coming up is still in the back field Allen rolling to The Far Side defense giving Chase they can't touch it yeah I don't think hean Brown in the back field Allen over the middle that's caught past Midfield on a second down and long [Music] [Applause] BR in the back field third down and long Allen looking and good defensive coverage there 50 turnovers third most in the FBS in that span shuck in at quarterback gives the give that is Donald Cheney the Miami transfer mentioned quen we let's take a look at that Lineback group for lowo and off to Cheney it's a linebacking group that they're certainly expecting a lot from Quinn is going to be the headliner Davis is surprising loss but they feel like they have enough depth there to account for it I would say that that is probably the question mark it is the linebacking group hand off up the middle nice hole nice gain before he's th It Up near the 40 yd line gain of about 11 Cory thoron the UCF transfer was Chuck up top has a man there it's caught and a touchdown Chris Bell his second of the spring game perfectly thrown ball Matt once again the Deep ball drop back back and Bell did a tremendous job off the line of scrimmage of avoiding the Press coverage he beats his man off the line of scrimmage and gives the quarterback lots of room to drop it in there but that was made now check out the pocket drop back Perfect protection balls out quickly and a really nice gra yards on the first touchdown a 45 y on this one rer puts that one through the last one went for 45 and a guy that they hope would could emerge as that number one receiver Clarkson is hit from behind the line of scrimmage so he is a guy a bit of a long Strider but he has the ability to be a game breaker Clarkson over to the air side that is tipped away and that defensive secondary is something that you are going to have to watch all season long calling Lacy's South Alabama transfer is a guy brought in to kind of feel that slot need here's Clarkson over the middle canaris Hicks slung to the ground Quincy Quincy Riley is there yet again the set back and four receivers in the formation for Louisville Turner and near side cuts back in not before he's at six Turner Shifty stopped a little bit past the line of scrimmage hey Matt I know we talked about this big boys and a handful of transfers to help supplement pass into the flat and that is wrapped up immediately number 97 Maurice Davis with the stop that quarterback Isaac Brown The Freshman running back Chuck already with a couple of touchdowns tonight to Chris Bell that one to The Far Side Colin Lacy with the catch that is the South Alabama transfer a guy really nicely he can spin it hand off nice hole good gain Isaac Brown's got some of that shiftiness some speed some quickness talking to the coaches said has an element of that joar Jordan had just that speed he's got that hard to catch can be a pest to the defense steams the defense yeah chuck boy you're right about the way that ball comes out of that right arm oh boy that one of The Far Side guus Hicks that was a throw Brown showing the shiftiness again what what is it about shuck and the way that ball comes out R six games in 202 22 six games in 2023 as brown to the near side and he is ROP down there is a flag on the play that was Antonio Watts at Texas Tech than I think he expected and he got beat up there's no question about it but that should not happen here this is a pro style offense that throw though as we call that the announcers Jinx that is picked off that is Quincy Riley folks that is a name to watch I know the NFL draft is coming up year this is another name what a surprise that Riley makes the play and we talk about a guy who is high on the radar as you mentioned for next year's draft has added depth to give him breaks during the season yeah he mentioned in a recent interview maybe instead of 80 snaps it's you know you take you take a few snaps of those away and he's able to maximize and play 100% more off lot of new faces in this conference and and new teams as well as few programs entered the portal with the touchdown pass as well third down and one red team defense looking to add to their lead and they might just have done it we finally got the scoring right here looking forward to the second half talk to a player or two as well if they're done playing in the spring game forward to some conversation running clock in the second half as well as that give is to Brown first down with a few seconds to go Allen whistle is blown on the catch from Brown and that will do it for the first half of this spring game
