—Pick Six Previews predicts a Louisville vs. Miami ACC championship game.
—Sports Illustrated ranks Trinidad Chambliss, the man Louisville will face in week one, as the best quarterback in college football for 2026. Lincoln Kienholz checks in at No. 41 on the same list.
41. Lincoln Kienholz, Louisville
2025 Stats (Ohio State): 11 for 14, 139 yards, one touchdown
Kienholz is an unknown commodity at the college level, having toiled behind Kyle McCord, Will Howard and Julian Sayin the past three seasons at Ohio State. But the fact that Jeff Brohm, who’s worked with his fair share of NFL-caliber quarterbacks in his career, wanted to bring a redshirt junior with 36 career passes to Louisville is an endorsement. One intriguing aspect: Kienholz brings far more as a runner than the likes of David Blough, Aidan O’Connell and Tyler Shough. Those three represent the archetype that Brohm has had success with, meaning he’ll have to adjust to develop more of a dual threat.

—Louisville is the 18th-most injury prone team in college football for 2026.
—When it comes to actual performance versus preseason expectations, Jeff Brohm is one of the biggest overachieving coaches in college football.
Looking at coaches by their teams preseason vegas win total, and how much they over/under perform that win total. Curt Cignetti and Sonny Dykes lead the way in total wins above expectation, although their avg win total isn't as high as a Kirby Smart pic.twitter.com/1ShYC45kWC
