The Cardinal Countdown: 53 Days Until Kickoff

53 Days Until Kickoff

When the Cards don’t have an athlete wearing the days corresponding jersey number in 2021 I’m going to drop a quick stat, a “did you know” or maybe even a “you ain’t gonna believe this” below. You’re gonna need to click each day to find out what you get….

Did you know, from 1974 to 1977 Kevin Miller was the primary kickoff returner for the Cards. He finished his career with 53 returns, a mark good enough for 6^th all-time at UofL, but a mark that Hassan Hall eclipsed in just two seasons. Hassan currently sits at 78 kickoff returns total in his career and has an outside shot (+26) to finish #1 overall in kickoff returns before he calls it quits.
