Louisville football just shocked the nation and pulled off the biggest win of the year so far in college football. The Cardinals went into Hard Rock Stadium and defeated the No. 2 Miami Hurricanes, ending their 10-game win streak at home. Who was the last team to beat Miami at home? Louisville.

Entering the game, it was clear the fans were anxious for this one, as everyone knew a loss would mean they were out of the ACC Title conversation, but a win would put them right back in the mix and in the AP Poll rankings. Well, thanks to a lightning-fast 14-0 start, a Chris Bell-dominant performance, magic tricks by Jeff Brohm, and this impressive defense, this Cards team pulled off the 24-21 upset, and is the talk of college football on this beautiful Saturday in October.

The Cards fans were incredibly disappointed with the team's performance the last time they were on the field, but after last night's win, there is no doubt that they are all-in on Brohm, and he has just solidified his case to be one of the best coaches in college football.

Jeff Brohm gets high praise from Louisville football fans after taking down Miami

The Cards fell short to Virginia two Saturdays ago, and the Cardinals fans were not happy. Some were claiming Brohm was on the hot seat, and others didn't go that far but voiced that he is a "mediocre" coach.

Well, after the Cardinals defeated Miami, Louisville fans made sure to have their head coach back and voice their appreciation for him, calling him an elite coach and one of the best in the nation, while also being thrilled that their season is not over just yet.

The Cardinals' head coach has now defeated four top-five teams in his career, making this his first one with Louisville. He is a giant killer, and the Cardinals fans are stoked to have him on their sideline. Brohm is stacking up a massive resume with the Cardinals. In 2023, he defeated Miami on the road, No. 10 Notre Dame at home, led Louisville to its first 10-win season since 2014, and took the Cards to their first ACC Title game. As for 2024, he led Louisville to the Cardinals' second straight nine-win season, the first time since 2013-2014, and defeated Clemson for the first time in program history.

Now, in 2025, he is 5-1, right in the mix for the ACC race, and just pulled off the biggest road win in program history. Brohm continues to take down these powerhouses, despite being severely outmatched in talent. He is one of the smartest coaches in college football and can out-scheme anyone.

This is the first time Louisville has won a game on the road over a top 10 team, making it one of the best wins in program history. The Cardinals fans are waking up this Saturday morning knowing Brohm is their head coach and are the happiest they have ever been.

The Cardinals fans erupted last night and are buzzing with excitement all morning. With Brohm as the Cardinals' head coach, this fanbase truly believes they can beat anyone, anywhere. Brohm has this program trending in the right direction, and after defeating Miami last night, the fans are beginning to look at their schedule and feel confident that this team can earn at least 10 wins this season.
