“It just proves that I can do it at the highest level.”
Louisville quarterback Lincoln Kienholz takes the podium following the Cardinals’ season opener against #9 Ole Miss.
In his first start for the Cards, Kienholz owned his early pocket jitters before turning it loose in the second half, lowering his shoulder, sparking a 14-point comeback, and proving this offense can punch with the best in the country.
Watch as Kienholz discusses:
- Overcoming early rust and trusting his offensive line to settle down in the pocket.
- Taking full accountability for early play clock issues and huddle communication.
- Leading the rally down 14 and fighting until the final snap.
- His physical, no-slide running mentality: “That’s just who I am. I’m a competitor”.
- Why walking away “one play away” fuels the locker room for the next 11 weeks.
