After exactly one half of the season things for Louisville football haven’t gone anywhere near the way they were “planned to go.” Though the national media picked the Cards to finish fifth in the Atlantic division of the ACC, everyone locally thought that all the pieces were there for the Cards to continue on their upward trajectory.
Sure there were a lot of questions marks about this team, some that fans and the coaches probably should have taken a bit more seriously. Honestly, it probably would have helped temper expectations. I mean Louisville did lose Lamar Jackson and Jaire Alexander, two NFL first rounders in 2018, along with numerous other veterans from both sides of the ball.
