Prior to the season, you may have pegged Louisville football as a sleeper team to make a bowl game. But never in one’s right mind could even the most impassioned Cardinals fans have conceived Louisville one game away from bowl eligibility in game nine against the Miami Hurricanes.
Entering the season, both teams were on the mend. It would be unfair to say these teams were broken, but the Cardinals and the Hurricanes both lost their head coaches in 2018 and replaced them with exciting head coaches looking to rebuild.
Like Louisville, Miami has looked just “okay” at times and has dropped some real head-scratchers along the way.
