1. Louisville’s Kicking Game Was Their Greatest Asset

If there was one positive thing that we could take out of that performance against LSU, it was the play from Blanton Creque and Mason King. These two did everything they needed to do to keep the Cardinals in the football game, but unfortunately two kickers can’t beat a team like LSU by themselves.

One of the most impressive offensive plays of the entire day from the Cards was Creque’s 47 yards field goal before halftime.

Heck, Creque even took the biggest hit of the season to keep Derrius Guice from a touchdown.

It gave every Louisville football fan reason to believe in the Cards going into the second half, but the Tigers were just too much for their offensive line to handle throughout the day.

At least the kicking game is looking strong going into the offseason.
