After Louisville beat Florida State in a thoroughly impressive 63-20 home win last September, coach Bobby Petrino told the gathered media that his coaches began scouting the Seminoles nine months earlier, in the winter.
"We spent a lot of time on it," Petrino said back then. "You pick out a few games each year where you’re going to focus on over the winter, over the spring and summer and make sure that you get well-prepared for it. And this was one of those games that we picked out."
