As expected, Louisville football is 2-0 through the first two games of 2025. The Cardinals have been heavily favored in both contests and have taken care of business, sitting exactly where they should be heading into their first bye week. But just because they’re undefeated doesn’t mean they’re without flaws. The whole purpose of scheduling “cupcake” opponents early is to expose and address weaknesses before the gauntlet of conference play begins.
The opener against Eastern Kentucky was over before it really started. Louisville stormed out to a 41-0 lead by halftime, and while the 51-17 final was convincing, it’s hard to evaluate growth in a game that lopsided.
