Transcript: What Louisville football coach Jeff Brohm said ahead of Florida State game

Louisville coach Jeff Brohm used Monday’s weekly news conference to refocus the Cardinals after a 30-27 loss to NC State on Saturday. Louisville hosts Florida State on Friday night, and Brohm framed the matchup around the Seminoles’ current rhythm: Florida State is 3-2, lost to SMU by three, has scored heavily against Alabama, recorded 10 sacks last week, and followed that with a win over Virginia in which the quarterback had five rushing touchdowns. On defense, Brohm stressed containing Florida State’s run game and quarterback, while avoiding big passing plays by eliminating easy downfield throws. Offensively, he pointed to needing more scoring consistency in the fourth quarter and fewer costly turnovers, plus improved communication and alignment.
