4. Coaching/Effort/Game-planning

There was a serious case of Louisville coming out not ready to play on defense. If this was the first time we were talking about it, then it would be one thing, but it seems as though they could have cared less about beating Kentucky on Saturday.

I don’t understand how Todd Grantham cannot have his guys on defense ready to play every week. Especially against an in-state school like Kentucky. It was brutal to watch and they will reap the effects of it.

It didn’t even feel like Louisville knew what was coming on defense. The flat route was open all day and the Cards couldn’t cover it.

Not to mention, Kentucky played the better football game for four quarters than Louisville did.
