2. Louisville football runs the table
The fans may be sad and frustrated with the program after the loss to Virginia, but there is a lot of season left. It is not as if the Cardinals lost to an inferior team, as the Cavaliers are a legitimate team this season. If Louisville football took care of the ball, the talk around this team would be completely different. This team still has a lot of talent and potential.
The Cardinals are not perfect by any means, but this team can run the table. The three biggest games left for them are Miami, Clemson and SMU. These will not be easy games, but with the way the defense is playing and the Moss and Bell connection getting stronger week by week, Louisville football can do the unthinkable. Their first step will be winning at Miami in their next outing. If they pull that upset off, then they could be set for the rest of the year. The momentum they would gain from that win could propel them to an 11-1 regular season. This season is far from over, and Louisville football will prove that in the coming weeks.
A single loss does not define a season, and Louisville has the pieces to recover in a big way. The offense still has plenty of firepower, and the Cardinals can compete with anyone left on the schedule if they can sustain drives and limit turnovers. Head coach Jeff Brohm has demonstrated his ability to rally his team in the face of adversity, and this group possesses the resilience to bounce back. With playmakers on both sides of the ball and a defense capable of creating game-changing plays, Louisville football remains in position to make a run in the ACC. The path will not be easy, but the Cardinals have the talent and determination to finish strong and remind everyone why they were considered one of the conference’s most dangerous teams.
