Offensively **** good indeed. I think people are just hoping he doesn't run a train on our defense. I know I am.
I get it, anyone with a pulse did that last year. It's also his first year back at Louisville and he has a first time starting QB as well, and is missing his best player in D. Parker. The guy is good, but he's got a **** big task in front of him.
I know. It just has not mattered who the quarterbacks have been when facing our defense. Pure scrubs, total unknowns, have craved up our defense. I want to believe, but I just don't have any faith in the defense. Hope they prove me wrong, though.
Let's put it this way, if Petrino faced last year's defense, he would have put up 800 yards because last year's defense was most susceptible to what Petrino does best--drags and shallow crossing routes. He wouldn't have punted.
The hope, and I emphasize hope, is that:
1. it might take Petrino a little while to start clicking at UL. We're lucky to be getting him in the first game;
2. Petrino's new QB stinks and the weapons on his offense are depleted from last year due to graduation and injuries;
3. our defense is VASTLY improved.
This is the hope.
For as much doubt as there is about our defense, there should be equal doubt about their defense being able to slow us down with all of our weapons and them installing a new scheme with a DC who has had a lot of trouble stopping anyone.
beating Petrino for the reasons you listed (aside from the defense actually being much better - which I highly doubt) is much worse for this program than just losing and getting F/A/G the **** outa here with his poosy *** "defense"
basically, in year 4 with F/A/G we are just hoping that UL has enough injuries and is so new to their system that we can sneak out with a W
Rooting against your own team is *****ass.
