4. Their Focus

This was one of the most disappointing things of the entire game against Houston. The Cards spent all week tweeting and expressing their disapproval in the College Football Playoff committee’s rankings. At the end of the day, it turns of they were wrong and the committee was 100 percent correct.

You cannot be so focused on the playoffs that you don’t take care of your own business. This is still a “younger” team, but they showed, more than ever, why they shouldn’t have been in the big dance this season.

They will face a Kentucky team that will be bowl-eligible for the first time in forever and will also be looking to shut down Lamar Jackson. If the Cards cannot fix their focus on the task at hand next weekend, they will be sitting at 9-3 to conclude a disappointing end to the 2016 regular season.
