2018 was a year to forget for those around the Louisville football program.
A team with an over/under win total of 7 at most sportsbooks finished without a power five conference win, dropped their last ten games of the season, and fired head coach Bobby Petrino midseason en route to six straight games where they game up more than 52 points.
After a season that was as ugly as it gets, it’s easy to see why the national perception is that the Cards will struggle once again in 2019.
Louisville breaks in a new coaching staff and a new system, doesn’t have a quarterback who could handle the pressure of taking over for Lamar Jackson last season, and faces one of the toughest slates in college football.
