About the best thing one can say about a lopsided loss to Alabama in the opening game is that the college football season is back. Unfortunately too soon for the University of Louisville football team. Nowhere near ready to be taking on a defending national champion.
Former UofL Athletic Director Tom Jurich thought a few years ago that scheduling Alabama was a good idea. Back when Louisville was being discussed as a serious playoff contender, back before that embarrassing loss to Houston on a dark Thursday night. Seems like a long time, at least three defensive coordinators ago.
