A few weeks ago, Louisville looked like a gimme. Now? Not so much.
True, this team is just 4-23, but in recent games, the Cardinals have taken flight.
Go back to the win over Georgia Tech. It was just their third win, but they won. They followed that up by barely losing to Florida State, got crushed by Pitt but then pushed Miami and Virginia to the bitter end before giving Clemson a solid beating Saturday.
So hats off to Kenny Payne, who has started the long process of turning this program around.
They’re still in a deep hole but the Cards have shown heart and character.
