I am a usf fan and hope we win again.I am also a BE fan and would love for UL to go to the NC and WIN. Petrino has the offense and moxie to pull it off...i hope he takes care of his business and takes his opportunity, theses donot come around every year.

Their SOS will take a tremedous leap forward with this backloaded schedule. If only UConn weren't there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miami and WVU, then craped the bag by not correctly preparing his O-Line for a defense that has run this same scheme against UNC and USF (the two Rutgers games I've really watched).

He learned a lesson Thursday, and hopefully he'll be better because of it. Keep in mind that UofL is just now (the past couple of years) starting to get big-time talent. This year alone will double the value of a scholarship to Louisville in the eyes of HS kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
