Louisville starting quarterback Lincoln Kienholz was injured at the tail end of his team’s game against Wake Forest, and his status might not be clear until kickoff this week.
While Brohm did not directly address the type of injury Kienholz sustained, he proclaimed, “He has something. We aren’t going to elaborate. Will probably be a game time decision.”
I went back and watched the play and it was one of those awkward shots to the lower legs that makes you cringe watching it, but he was able to hobble
off on his own. If it’s just a sprained ankle, that’s definitely not the worst of the possible outcomes there.
Kienholz has been very good basically since the second half of the Ole Miss game onward, and has been adept at making plays outside of the pocket. He’s completed 67.2% of his passes with an average of 9.2 yards per attempt in three games against FBS competition this season; he also has at least one rushing touchdown in every game this season.
Louisville’s backup quarterback is Davin Wydner, who began his career at Ole Miss but spent the last two years at FCS West Georgia.
