There have been better times to be a Louisville football fan.
A little over halfway through their 2018 campaign, Bobby Petrino’s Cardinals are staring a double-digit loss season square in the face for the first time since 1997, and only the second time in school history. The Cards play three of their remaining five games against ranked foes, and they are given less than a 15% chance to win four of the last five match-ups, according to ESPN’s FPI.
Recent times have seldom been worse as a Louisville Cardinals fan. What began as a season of great optimism- a new stadium expansion, new crop of talent, and one of the most exciting schedules in school history- has spiraled into complete chaos.
