QB Lincoln Kienholz (National Champion, transfer to Louisville)

Former Ohio State QB Lincoln Kienholz has a great opportunity right in front of him that he can’t let go to waste

Ex-Ohio State QB Lincoln Kienholz has a chance to make a name for himself in the college football world against a big time SEC opponent to start the season

Lincoln Kienholz has a chance to shine right away at Louisville

A former four-star recruit in the class of 2023, Kienholz now has a great opportunity in front of him with Louisville, where he is the starting quarterback and has a chance to make a national name for himself right out of the gates. He’ll be playing Ole Miss on the road in Week 1, a game that could generate serious buzz for the Cardinals.

If Louisville can find a way to pull an upset, there’s going to be a lot of talk around them being a potential College Football Playoff team because their schedule isn’t an overly tough one. They play SMU and Florida State, but other than those two games, they should be favored in just about every matchup. I’m not convinced they can’t win both of those games either.

Jeff Brohm Is excited about what Lincoln Kienholz brings to the offense

The Cardinals are going to have a potentially improved offense this year with Kieenholtz bringing a different element that head coach Jeff Brohm is excited about: his dual-threat ability.

“I think he brings us some dimensions and skills that we have not had before,” Brohm said recently. “He’s a great athlete. He can run. He can extend plays. He can throw on the run. And he enjoys doing that.”

Kienholz transferred away from Ohio State to get a chance to be the starter somewhere else, and he found that chance with Louisville. Right out of the gates in Week 1, he’s going to have a chance to put himself in the national spotlight in one of the better Week 1 games the college football world will have a chance to take in.

It’s going to be a great opportunity for the former Buckeye who still has plenty of fans in Columbus.

Just sayin': Too bad Louisville doesn't play ND or DaU in the regular season. The only 2 ranked teams that they play are Ole Miss (9) and SMU (19). Louisville is ranked 24 in the AP and 26 in the Coaches Poll. It looks like the ACC (with the exception of DaU) could really suck this year; which means Louisville could actually be in contention for the ACC Championship Game.

Prior to last night, he was the biggest liability on Vegas sports books at 80-1 odds to win Heisman. Meaning there was a lot of money on him at those odds and Vegas was certainly rooting for Ole Miss last night.

He needs a lot more experience and it won’t happen this year, but you can see the talent. He’s still really raw though…..hopefully Brohm is able to continue his progression.

Former Ohio State QB Lincoln Kienholz dropped a major statement that shows who he is after what went down on Sunday night

Lincoln Kienholz weathered the storm and had a strong performance against Ole Miss in his first career start. What the former Ohio State QB said after the game means as much as what he did on the field.

The college football weekend brought good news for the Ohio State Buckeyes in their season opener against Ball State, as expected. But former Buckeyes players making their debuts at new schools in Week 1 generated plenty of buzz too, and no one more than former Ohio State quarterback Lincoln Kienholz.

Kienholz spent his first three seasons at Ohio State, where he battled Julian Sayin for the starting quarterback job. Sayin won that job, and Ohio State never had a reason to look back. After sticking around longer than he really had to, Kienholz transferred to Louisville, where he finally got his chance to become a starting quarterback at the college football level.

Lincoln Kienholz settles in after slow start against Ole Miss

Kienholz made his first career start Sunday evening against Ole Miss in a matchup against a top-10 team. The Cardinals were edged 41-38 in a game where they managed just six points in the first half before exploding for 32 in the second. It was rough sailing early for Kienholz against the Rebels, but he settled in and finished 18-of-29 passing for 307 yards and two touchdown passes with no interceptions.
