Harsh reality sets in for U of L football

By Sam Draut–

It is only natural, after winning four games against some of the weakest teams in the ACC, that we would cross the line between reality and idealism at some point.

The harsh reality of the overriding truth struck the Louisville football team when Avonte Maddox crossed over the end zone for a touchdown, giving Pitt a 42-17 lead with 32 seconds left in the second quarter on Saturday.

Although the Cardinal defense locked down in the second half and Louisville cut the deficit to a one possession game in the fourth quarter, the hole was too deep to climb out of, and the Cardinals fell 45-34, and are now 6-5 going into their final game of the season against in-state rival Kentucky.
