Louisville football has grabbed national media attention through the first three weeks, largely because of star quarterback Lincoln Kienholz. The 4-star transfer from Ohio State has been remarkable through three games, taking the nation by storm with his ability to throw, run, and his toughness.

Kienholz transferred with many questions: he had a high ceiling as a former 4-star recruit out of high school, but after throwing the ball only 36 times in three years at Ohio State, no one knew what Jeff Brohm would get out of him. Well, after three weeks of football, Kienholz has cemented his name towards the top of the quarterback list in college football.
Cardinals fans are all-in on Kienholz after three weeks, and one of the reasons is that the star has a bit of a chip on his shoulder. In a recent interview, Kienholz channeled his inner Joe Burrow, and Cardinals fans will love this answer.
Lincoln Kienholz is going to be a huge star in college football
For those who might not remember or don’t know, Joe Burrow spent his first few years at Ohio State, where, similarly to Kienholz, he didn’t get much playing time. He then transferred to LSU, where he went on to have one of the best seasons in college football history, winning the Heisman and leading LSU in a dominant National Title run in 2019.
Since then, Burrow has gone viral for saying, “I always say I went to school at Ohio State and played football at LSU.” Now Kienholz just quoted Burrow on a recent podcast, and Louisville fans will love it.
“I think you will like this one. It is a little Joe Burrow quote. I went to school at Ohio State; I play football at Louisville,” stated Kienholz.
Kienholz's fiery quote has Louisville fans absolutely fired up. The star quarterback has that chip on his shoulder that Cards fans love, and he should have it through three games. He has emerged as a true star, throwing for 816 yards, six touchdowns, and zero interceptions. In addition to his passing, he is leading the Cardinals with four rushing touchdowns and 153 rushing yards.
There is a lot to be excited about with this Ohio State transfer, and he seems to be getting comfortable and gaining more and more confidence. Kienholz might not just be Jeff Brohm’s next star quarterback; he might be the best quarterback he's had in college football.
Kienholz and the Cardinals turn their attention to Wake Forest this afternoon, where the Cardinals and Demon Deacons kick off at noon local time.
