*WE GET NO RESPECT (Rodney Dangerfield voice).* On the same day the ACC released its football season schedule, Scott Satterfield’s Louisville football program have been left out of the USA Today coaches preseason top 25 for the second year in a row.
Louisville finished last season on a solid note, dashing Mississippi State 38-28 in the Music City Bowl. Prior to that game, outside of the 45-13 drubbing washout at Kentucky, they looked impressive, beating two ranked (at the time) opponents, one being on the road.
Satterfield’s squad found itself in the top 25 in total offense at the end of the year, and with almost all of its offensive playmakers returning, one had to think the Cards were primed for a top 15 finish, at minimum, in that category.
