It’s not every day that a player gets compared to some of the game’s all-time best. It’s even less likely for that player to be relatively unknown nationwide.But that’s the case for Louisville Cardinals star EDGE Clev Lubin. After playing at Coastal Carolina in 2024, where he had 44 tackles, 12 tackles for loss and 9.5 sacks, he had an even better year at Louisville last season. He finished with 61 tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks.The redshirt senior stands at 6-foot-3 and 260 pounds. This makes him a little undersized for an EDGE rusher. That’s why college…

I’m just not sure this was the right one.”Barnwell went on to explain how Moore may…

It was far from a convincing performance against Thistle, hardly surprising given what was at stake, and the relief from fans and players alike was obvious after the game.”We wanted to make sure the players were remembered as legends at this club after winning the League Cup,” McLeish said. “We didn’t want that black mark against our name.”First half was nervy, cagey and full of mistakes. It wasn’t really tactical, just us controlling our emotions. We did that better in the second half.”McLeish won three of his nine league matches after Robinson left, but was unable to keep St Mirren…
