Louisville Head Coach Jeff Brohm Relays Message From Florida Gators About Miami Hurricanes Defense
In this story:
The Miami Hurricanes defense is doing exactly what it set out to do before the season started and more. Beyond just winning games, this defense is dominating opposing offenses.
Coaches around the country are already very familiar with the amount of talent on the Hurricanes defense. Louisville head coach Jeff Brohm made himself available to the media Monday afternoon to discuss the kinds of challenges Miami's defenses poses to quarterback Miller Moss and the rest of the Louisville offense.
Jeff Brohm spoke to the Florida Gators
Brohm has been the head coach at Louisville for Cristobal's two most recent meetings with the Cardinals. Brohm admitted to speaking to the Florida Gators coaching staff in order to get their opinion about the Miami Hurricanes defense, specifically their defensive line.
"We've talked to some coaches at Florida and they said this front looks better than ones they've seen in the SEC in the last three or four years so yes, it's a good defensive front. They're talented, they're big, they're strong, they're fast.
I need recruits to hear this…the HC of Louisville said he asked a few coaches how good this U defense is…”it’s better then any front in the last 3-4 years in the SEC”

Miami defeated Florida 26-7 on Sept. 20 after a strong defensive performance. Defensive ends Mohamed Toure and projected top-5 NFL draft pick Rueben Bain Jr. each collected at least half of a sack.
Louisville understands Miami's potential
Brohm was honest about the true power this defense possesses, but his honesty stretched beyond the defensive side of the ball. While previewing the game, Brohm made a bold claim about this season's Hurricanes team.
"I think Miami is as talented as any team in the country. We've played them the last two years since I've been here. They were really good. Without question, this is the most talented team they've had at every position. Great defensive front, NFL prospects on the defensive line, which will be a challenge."
Brohm made sure to emphasize how great of an opportunity this is to play a team as talented as Miami. The Louisville head coach praised Miami on both sides of the ball, but called the defensive line "not over-complicated".
"They're not over-complicated but when you're that talented you don't have to be, they come off the ball, they strike, and they do a very good job so this is will be a huge test."
What's next for the Miami Hurricanes?
Every week that Miami improves on both sides of the ball and every week the Miami Hurricanes get another win, the expectations grow larger and the noise gets louder. It's up to head coach Mario Cristobal to hold everyone accountable, and the on-field leaders to stay composed through it all.
The Hurricanes face the Louisville Cardinals this Friday night at 7:00pm Eastern on ESPN.
