Louisville Football: 5 reasons to be mad after the Cards’ loss to Kentucky
By Derek Snyder
1. Everything Louisville worked for in 2016 may have come to an end
Surely, this was supposed to be the season that Louisville football was going to take the next step and become an elite football team. I guess we couldn’t have been more wrong.
Whether it was the easy schedule or Lamar Jackson’s amazing play, the Cards couldn’t be stopped in the first half of the season.
With that being said, the season took a turn for the worse after the Cardinals lost to Houston and Kentucky in under two weeks. Just like that, the College Football Playoff is out of the window and the Orange Bowl could be as well, depending on how Florida State plays against Florida.
Who knows how this loss will affect Lamar Jackson’s Heisman hopes. There may be some voters who will go for someone in the playoff, now that Louisville has three losses. However, at the end of the day, I think he still may be safe.
We now turn our broken hearts towards bowl season and who knows where that’s going to lead or if Louisville will even be interested in playing.
