As a teenager Eric Wood’s Elder high school football team in Cincinnati had a big time problem beating Trinity high school in neighboring Kentucky. The problem was Trinity had Brian Brohm as their quarterback. All Brohm did in high school was lead Trinity to three consecutive state titles before being named USA Today’s Offensive Player of the Year.
Wood decided if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.
“Brian’s a hardcore competitor and that’s one of my favorite things about him,” said Wood. “I played him in high school and he kicked our butts. When I heard he was going to Louisville I said I’m following that guy because he’s going to win a lot of ballgames. He’s a really talented quarterback and can throw the ball anywhere, makes all the throws. Just an instinctive, tough, competitive guy.”
During their three seasons together Wood and Brohm won 27 games with a couple of bowl appearances including an Orange Bowl win in 2007.
