Worst than a nightmare, this was real.

At long last, the college football season from Hell is over. A sorry exercise in futility for the University of Louisville. An ugly setback for a program that had advanced so far in two decades, only to plummet to possibly the lowest depths in the school’s history.

No semblance of organization, expectations or optimism from the opening three-and-out series against Alabama until the fifth straight incomplete pass against Kentucky. Never any indication that UofL would get any better under Coach Bobby Petrino or his interim replacement.
