I was genuinely surprised by how much bigger, longer and faster Louisville was across the board last night. The 6' 5" 245 pound Cardinal safety - safety - gave me a lot of pause. Wow.
Perhaps because of last year's Clemson and LSU efforts I figured that the talent gap had been closed a bit more than it apparently has. That, or, Louisville is a truly great, top five or top ten team. We shall see I guess.
But what really caught my attention last night was the inability of our wideouts to get off the line of scrimmage when Dungey was trying to throw pump and go routes down the sideline. Every time he tried to make the throw, there was nobody there and he had to take the coverage sack.
And that happened at key moments when we were trying to make it a one TD game.
