This is why this board is so ridiculous and unreasonable. Are we the only team in the country that's allowed to improve? Yes, their defense was bad last season, overall. In the game against us, it was exceptionally poor. But they played 4 more games after our game last year, and 3 of them they weren't a complete joke (The game against Kentucky certainly was, however).
Then they played WKU last weekend, and they weren't bad. I'm not going to sit here and pump sunshine up Louisville's ***...yes, they're not great on defense and I'll be EXTREMELY disappointed if we don't have a really good night on offense. But because of 1 game last season they are the worst defense of all time and we have to score FIFTY points on the road in Game 2 of a new regime with limited practice time? Can it happen? Sure. But it blows my mind how some of y'all think....**** yeah I want 50, but say we win the game 38-31, this board is going to be lit up with "Lashlee sucks" threads because some of you really think we're playing an optimist team Saturday night or something. I don't know who needs to hear this, but the game last season means literally nothing. It's 2 entirely different teams in entirely different years.
Grade the 2019 Louisville defense on a curve. The group that allowed 529 points – including 77 to Clemson and 52 or more in each of the last five games and in six of the last seven – still wasn’t great last year, but allowed 434 points and found things that started to work.
The scoring D was still the worst in the ACC, the defense was 102nd in the nation, and the run defense was hammered on way too often.
They are bad. Can they improve? Well yes since the only place to go is up for them. Now what about our Offense? Can we improve? Since we had probably the worst UM offense in the history of our school. I actually think this will be a shootout but I just see them breaking down quicker and we get some timely turnovers.
