Louisville football: Top quotes from Bobby Petrino’s press conference
By Derek Snyder
Louisville football head coach Bobby Petrino took to stage to answer a few questions ahead of Louisville’s upcoming game against the Charlotte 49ers.
It is just about that time. The time of the year when the Cardinals take the field and all is right again in the Ville’. Louisville football has high expectations this season due to a talented and experienced roster. Head coach Bobby Petrino is in great position to take this team to the next level.
Petrino stepped up to the microphone Monday afternoon and answered some questions about this current season and the status of his football team.
Here are some of the best quotes from Petrino’s press conference:
Bobby Petrino, on deferring on opening kickoff last season: "That's the worst feeling I ever had. Let's not ever do that again."

Bobby Petrino says Stacy Thomas is recovered and had full contact in practice. Listed No. 1 on depth chart.

Petrino: "I want to see us come out and execute. Do your job. Do what you are asked to do.... and then play with great effort."

BP: We are preparing everyone to play this year and see what happens with some of our freshmen.

It will be pretty interesting to see how many freshman play this season, even after that last quote from Bobby Petrino. Last season, the Cardinals struggled at the beginning of the season because of a lack of experience on the offensive side of the football. That will obviously pay off for Louisville this season as they look to build on their experience and make an effort towards winning an ACC Championship.
To be more specific, there has been a lot of discussion around the Louisville program about what kind of role freshman quarterback Jawon Pass and freshman wide receiver Dez Fitzptrick will have in the 2015. It should also be known that both players were four star recruits, according to 247 Sports.
