The Cardinals might have penciled in their starter at quarterback, but the competition behind QB1 during the offseason will play a crucial role this upcoming season.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - While fall camp is still a few weeks away, at this point during the summer months, Louisville football head coach Jeff Brohm feels very good about the status of his quarterback room heading into the upcoming 2024 season.
Fortunately for the Cardinals, they will be entering fall camp with a very strong and healthy competition for the No. 2 spot at that position. Earlier this year, Clarkson made some serious strides during spring ball both as a passer and a runner, especially in the latter half. During the spring game, he received the second-most snaps behind Shough, and went went 9-of-14 for 117 yards with a 62-yard touchdown and an interception.
The two also have high ceilings in their own right. Bailey, a former five-star recruit who previously played at Tennessee and UNLV, had a solid spring and was praised by Brohm for his passing ability. Allen, a former top-50 prospect who started his career at Purdue with Brohm, has been up-and-down since becoming a Cardinal but has the respect from his head coach due to his football IQ.
Another reason that having a strong competition for the backup quarterback spot is important, especially in Louisville's case, is that all of these guys are going to play at some point. While Brohm was reluctant to take snaps away from Jack Plummer last season, traditionally, this was an anomaly from Brohm and not his typical line of thinking.
