Q: Matt, what stood out most about Louisville's performance against Ole Miss that surprised you?

Matt Fortuna explains that teams often start with a veteran in camp and let the rookie emerge as the season progresses, citing a common approach where the best option is kept as the first choice once they prove themselves in practice and preseason.
