- Description
- This episode of The C.L. Brown Show features Louisville football linebacker Stanquan Clark to discuss the Cardinals' showdown with No. 16 SMU on Saturday.
Clark was on the sideline when the Mustangs beat the Cards 2024, then he was sidelined with an injury when they lost last season in Dallas. He explains how facing SMU's up-tempo offense forced UofL's defense to completely overhaul the way they communicated. The Cards will put that to the test against SMU quarterback Kevin Jennings, who Clark said reminds him of playing against Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss in Week 1.
Clark, a Miami native who was recruited by former UofL coach Scott Satterfield, also tells why he's remained loyal to Louisville and stayed for four years.
Hear about that and more on this week's episode of The C.L. Brown Show.

- The dozens of pages of documents also show that LMPD believed 21-year-old Michael Hristov was potentially connected to other South End assaults, including one that may have later resulted in a woman’s death.
Police shot and killed Hristov on May 14 during a standoff at his home after a grand jury indicted him for the Christmastime murder and mutilation of Michael Howard, whose body was found near an I-65 overpass missing toes and genitals.
Dressed in body armor and a helmet during the encounter, Hristov opened fire when SWAT arrived. LMPD would say a Reddit post allegedly made by Hristov days before the murder was among the trail of evidence in the complex case that helped lead them to him.
