Will Louisville find a new identity in 2015?

The current cable television climate reflects the importance of athletics in American society. ESPN, coupled with every other sports network, occupies roughly half of the 6,500 channels available to an average consumer. These anchors and motor mouths need filler content to bridge the gap from game day to game day. We hear it for every sport, every season: "this team needs to find its identity". As of today, scientists are still unable to understand the link between championship trophies and pinpointing a team's distinction, nevertheless, coaches, fans, and media search each season for their team's identity. Coach Petrino's calling card has been, and always will be offense, but the 2014 Cardinals were defined by a stifling defense.
