-Statistically, it wasn't anything crazy (yards are 188-181 in favor of Louisville and BC had just 7 first downs to the Cardinals' 10), but it felt better after the first quarter. The two touchdowns on 4th downs by Lawing were impressive creativity and well-timed calls. Credit where it's due.
-Having said that, not pushing for points with 3 timeouts and 1:17 on the clock after Louisville scored is mind boggling and might come back to bite them in the ass.
-BC has 103 yards rushing (only 78 passing) and absolutely need to keep that going with Ward and Robichaux.
-I think I severely overrated the receivers at the start of the year because watching plays develop up high, they just absolutely can't get any separation.
-Still only one FG attempt on the season and Connor shanked the PAT. The lack of FG experience and reps is going to bite them in the ass eventually, just not sure when.
-Love seeing Morales involved. Need to get him the ball more, he's basically an untapped weapon still.
-Great job by the student section packing the place early tonight and there was definitely a different vibe on the field pregame with some of the music.
-I still don't trust them to close this out unless they actually stick to the run. Louisville should be tied at the very least but penalties have killed them.
-Mind boggling - after telling us they worked on returns this week - that McGowan just refuses to take balls back when he catches them at the 5 or 10. Really need more out of special teams.
