Louisvile...

Is not a very good team.  They looked great against UConn (and what does that say about the Huskies?) but, beyond that game, they've been thoroughly unimpressive.

Take a look at their game tonight against Memphis (before Doc Saturday does in his excellent weekly segment, "Life in the Margins):  not only were the Cards out-gained by 182 yards but they benefitted from 2 fourth down conversions and 3 Memphis turnovers.  Louisville was, on a play-by-play basis,  absolutely dominated.  In fact, the Cardinals would not have even been in this game had it not been for several marvelous Memphis miscues (see what I did there?  Pretty cool, huh?).

Louisville totaled a respectable 35 points, 7 from a fumble return, 7 from a kickoff return, and 7 more from a missed field return.  Were that not enough, they even managed to be unimpressive during their two legitimate scoring drives: one drive went all of 38 yards, leaving the Cardinals with but a single actual drive.  

Ughhh.  So much for UConn's one decent win.
