Mnnnnoooogod, It's Over: That Was Not Your Slightly Older Brother's Louisville Team

One of the many staples of Louisville Cardinal football for the past few years has been high octane, statistically fueled 50-plus point games. Tonight, in a super-special, happy-fun-time Sunday afternoon football game, they scored ... two.

Yes, two. Hint to Coach K-Thorpe: if I have to type your team's score out in letters, you are doing a poor job with your offensive scheming and gameplanning. Work on that. Quickly.

Kentucky wasn't exactly the Andre Woodson-inspired offensive juggernaut for most of the game either, racking up 17 of their 27 in about the time for me to say "____ this boring ___ ____" and go take a shower. (In actuality, it was a field goal, a touchdown and a defensive touchdown in the span of seven minutes).

Hunter Cantwell, no Brian Brohm he, went 20/43 for 135 yards and three interceptions. Hard to imagine a scenario where Louisville fans would ever want/take Bobby Petrino back, but, yeah, this is it. (Aside: or do they even really hate him? I probably would, but then I have a soul.)

There's still plenty of season left and they could still win the Big East at this point, I suppose -- the defense did look pretty decent -- but Steve Kragthorpe's reign as UL coach is not going spectacularly thus far.

Short Story Short:
The good news: Lousville's offense really won't be that bad because of ...

The bad news: Kentucky's defense is pretty good. Remind me to re-tool this little piece to include "SEC SPEED" as something I'm already sick of hearing.
