In Death Valley on Saturday it was hard to dislike anything the Clemson displayed. The beautiful (and full stadium for a noon kick), tailgating all across campus, knowledgeable and passionate fans, and a coach using every weapon possible–including touchdown scores by a defensive lineman and a holder (his own son). All these things are possible in the Louisville Football program. But being competitive, and consistently playing with the likes of Clemson is becoming a farther away dream.
It’s hard to comprehend the free fall the Cards have taken since their last trip to Clemson Memorial Stadium. Simply put, the Louisville program should be closer than it was two years ago.
