Anytime I sit down to write a recap post or something focusing on a very specific topic I always try and let the dust settle to avoid injecting my own recency bias into the equation. I probably could have jotted down three to four pages worth of opinions on the topic of the Louisville defense Saturday night as I was at a peek level of frustration; but now that a few days have passed I’ve tried to cut the fat and look to bring you just some key observations halfway through the year. Warning, it’s still a lot.
Coming into this season during ‘The Cardinal Countdown’ I was the poster child for the group of fans who looked at our personnel, looked at the depth, looked at the transfers, and thought…this defense could be legit.
