The last 2 years have been shaky for Louisville sports in general. Bobby Petrino and the Cardinals football team are no exception.
Louisville football was on top of the world in October of 2016. After starting off the season on fire, averaging over 60 points per game, and destroying No. 2 Florida State, the Cards rolled through the middle portion of their schedule and were one play away from taking down the eventual national champion Clemson on the road in Death Valley.
The Cards lead NC State 44-0 at halftime. They scored 41 unanswered against Wake Forest, 21 points in the first 5 plays against Syracuse, throttled Boston College, and Lamar Jackson had the Heisman trophy locked up half way through the season.
