To the injuries add Mark Smith, who is out a 3-4 weeks with a hand injury, per Arkley's blog.
After his opening remarks, where he was very respectful of the Ohio program, Strong didn't have a lot to say about Ohio, and the Louisville media didn't have much interest in talking about Ohio. He was asked 2 questions about Ohio, one at 7:30, and one at 25:30, and to both Strong gave quick answers. Basically he said that Ohio has sound schemes, and good size on the offensive line, and gets yards, and that Blankenship isn't tall but is tough and runs mostly between the tackles, and TT isn't a power runner. He also mentioned that Ohio has one receiver with good size (I'm not sure who he's talking about), which was his only reference to Ohio's passing game. Other than those quick comments, this conference was all about how this is a better Louisville team than a year ago, and all the things they are doing to try to continue to make progress, and on the status of specific Louisville players, etc.
Hopefully the Louisville press will have more questions about how good Ohio really is after the game than they do now.
