This isn’t going to be a lengthy write-up because I think Saturday’s loss to Pitt was the most straightforward result of the season so far for Louisville.
Miami outplayed the Cardinals the week before, but the difference in U of L having a shot to win that game and being multiple scores down for almost the entire second half was three huge defensive busts that resulted in easy and long Hurricane touchdowns. There were no such breakdowns on Saturday and Louisville had opportunities to return home with a victory, but Pitt beat the Cardinals because Pitt was a better team and played a better game.
