We take a look at five pivotal problems that Louisville football has to fix before the end of this season or they will continue their decline.

Thursday night might have been one of the most disappointing football games that we have ever witnessed. Everyone believed that this team was different, which was why every Louisville football fan was arguing for their place in the 2016 College Football Playoff.

To everyone’s surprise, the Louisville Cardinals football team never showed up on a night where their fans and the playoff committee needed them to perform at their best. Just plain disappointing.

The good news is that Lamar Jackson didn’t lose the Heisman Trophy because of the loss. If there is anything that we can take as a positive, then that’s it.

Other than that, there wasn’t anything else that the Cards showed on Thursday night that would give us any reason for optimism. However, that doesn’t mean that they cannot turn things around before the end of this season becomes a complete disaster.

This is a very talented football team that has survived a bunch of problems this season. There is no getting around that fact now that they are out of the playoff hunt.

With that being said, here are the five things that the Louisville football team has to improve on going forward.
