I mean, most teams don’t go undefeated. So there’s that. The L comes for everyone at some point, almost always.
But really, losing tonight isn’t entirely shocking. The boogeyman would be Cuse or VT. This was a Friday night game against a good team that is very well coached and always gives us fits. And we’ve been riding high after wins against THREE main rivals. F the spread, this one was dangerous the whole time.
I’m surprised we lost how we lost, but not necessarily that we lost. Louisville is a good team. We’re good too, but I wasn’t too sure about that “best team in the country” talk when I went back and watched the prior games. We’ve played solid ball until tonight, but we don’t give ourselves much margin for error with our style.
What sucks is we were thisclose to being good enough to overcome a ghastly performance by the offense. Just 1 fewer INT and we’re probably 6-0. Had to be an all-time egg from Beck to lose. Made it hurt worse to lose like that.
But we clearly didn’t deserve it.
Bad night for the offense to play that poorly.
And my God, the penalties are gross.
