“If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we’d all have a Merry Christmas.”
So heartened am I by the University of Louisville Cardinals’ energy and effort against a truly good Notre Dame team, I’m in touch with my inner Don Meredith.
Before contemplating the reality of this opening 35-17 setback, allow me a bit of fantasy.
With just under three minutes to play before halftime, the score is knotted at 14-14, and it is not a fluke. The Cards had taken a hit on the Irish’s opening drive, but fight back and compete toe to toe.
