Football went through scrimmage on Saturday and head coach Bobby Petrino liked what the team accomplished, but has yet to name a starting quarterback.
Earlier in the preseason Petrino said he would like to name a starting quarterback two weeks before the season opener against Auburn, but the position is still up for grabs.
After Tyler Ferguson was granted his request for release from the Louisville program earlier last week, Will Gardner, Reggie Bonnafon, Kyle Bolin and Lamar Jackson continue to compete for the starting spot.
Men’s Basketball is back from Puerto Rico, Rick Pitino with his take on the trip.
