Louisville offensive lineman Jeffrey Adams got his first taste of the Kentucky/Louisville rivalry Saturday in Lexington. The former Trigg County standout went through the pregame drills and shows he's not starving while away from home. Thanks to Todd Griffin of the Princeton Times-Leader for sending the pic.
Just three days until the annual Governor's Cup Game between Kentucky and Louisville at Commonwealth Stadium.
Here is what people around the state and nation are writing about the game:
Louisville kicks off the Steve Kragthorpe era as they host Murray State Thursday night at Papa Johns Cardinal Stadium.
The Cardinals are ranked anywhere from sixth to 12th in the preseason college football polls.
Jeff Adams is listed as second string right offensive tackle behind senior Breno Giacomini. Adams has also worked out at the guard spot.
If you have ESPNU on your dish, you'll get to see Thursday's game.
I went to the mailbox to get my ESPN the Magazine and was greeted by three Louisville Cardinals on the cover. The coverboys are receivers Mario Urrutia and Harry Douglas and quarterback Brian Brohm.
That trio may be the deadliest in college football today and will no doubt put up huge numbers in 2007.
A nice article on the Cards inside also.
Jeff Adams is up to second string right guard at the University of Louisville. The 6-8, 300-pound redshirt freshman from Trigg County began the spring at right tackle, but injuries at the right guard spot forced the shift behind sophomore Mike Donoghue, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal, who pretty much called the right guard spot the weakest on the Cardinal line.
While the bump to second string is good news, Adams found out some more good news last week. He's on a video game.
Jeff called home last week to tell his parents that his likeness is on the NCAA '08 video game by EA Sports. The video game, which makes you feel like you're part of the action (both playing and coaching), hit the shelves recently.
Jeff and the rest of the Louisville Cardinals hit the real field Aug. 30 when they name their score against Murray State at Papa John's Stadium.
New Louisville head football coach Steve Kragthorpe will make his Cardinal debut against Murray State Aug. 30 at Papa Johns Stadium.
For Murray's sake, I hope the paycheck is a big one.
Despite a new coach and not seeing a second of playing time in 2006, Jeff Adams is happy at Louisville and will stay and play for new Cardinals coach Steve Kragthorpe.
Jeff's mother Cheryl told me at the TCHS football banquet that he was using his redshirt season to get used to the college workload and that the coaching change would not affect his desire to play for Louisville.
Adams is projected to play on the offensive line for UL.
