A Look at Louisville’s Defense

Every head coach has a philosophy about the flow of a game.Coach Bobby Petrino’s has always been, get the ball first, score, put pressure on the other team, and attack on defense.Yesterday’s article on offensive miscues brought to light the "self-destruct" element of the Louisville offense to score points and more importantly, preserve drives and points.In short, the Cardinals are giving away over 10 points per game because of offensive miscues.Oddly enough, looking at last year’s offensive performance, the same was true as well.Louisville’s offense gave up 10.7 points per game due to the same miscue criteria.
