Louisville needs a win over Florida State to make sure it stays football season

As I begin to type this, we are about 17 hours away from Louisville and Florida State kicking off in Cardinal Stadium. What was thought to be a much bigger game nationally before the season started has now turned into a survival game. This could change the seasons for both teams. Whoever wins will see a glimmer of hope and have some much-needed positive momentum. For the loser? Well, that team will be 2-3 and heading in a downward spiral towards a season of disappointment. Here is my fear: a loss on Saturday for Louisville, and a big portion of the fan base will check out of football season and start to get ready for what’s next, Louisville basketball.
