Just when many University of Louisville fans were ready to avert their eyes from the current football season, UofL came within six points of upsetting Notre Dame last Saturday. On the road, South Bend, the big house. The undefeated and fourth-ranked Irish were ready to go down.
Still a disappointing outcome, but the five-point loss may have had the effect of the breathing new life into Louisville’s 2020 season. The much-maligned UofL defense limiting a team that was averaging more than 40 points per game to only one touchdown. Finally, the defense showing signs of life, at least until the next outing.
