Louisville/Clemson

[The-Hack]

This is the closest I have ever been to feeling sorry for the fans of the Redbirds.

The 4th Q. on Floyd Street deducted from the sum total of human knowledge of football.

In tight game, Clemson fumbled two times in a row inside Louisville’s 3 yard line, losing the second one, botched a punt snap, leaving Louisville within field goal range with under two minutes, and let Louisville’s best back run through them like a hot knife through butter.

And that was “good football,” compared to Louisville’s ineptness in missing two field goals, failing to go for two leaving themselves up 6 points in the 4th, a late personal foul that pushed them beyond field goal range, and throwing 3 passes to the middle of the field the last 46 seconds, with no time outs. Then facing a third and fourth down and a foot, failing to get the first on a running play that would have stopped the clock, allowing at least a couple of Hail Mary opportunities.

Just hideous football.

Missed a PAT in the first half.
I chose to hit the bed instead. Watching it now lol.

The ACC’s seems to be a bit weak. The Cats might have a chance to beat them.

I dont watch the Birds but always glad when they lose

I was at that game and and was impressed for the most part w the gameday atmosphere. Different story on the field. I thought both teams had their share of struggles.

Totally agree. A cascade of ineptitude those last few minutes. Both teams had multiple chances to salt the game away and failed. IIRC, UofL had FIVE unsportsman like fouls in the 4th quarter. Their FG kicker badly hooked a PAT and 2 FGs. CU messed up 2 straight dive plays at the goal line and had a short hop snap to the punter that gave UofL great field position. And they STILL couldn't win the game.

Hideous football, indeed, and, as UK fans, we've seen plenty to know what hideous football looks like.

We're beating Louisville.

I'm certainly completely biased against UofL, but committing FIVE unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, at least two were critical mistakes, in the 4th quarter did nothing to dispel my view of their team as a bunch of undisciplined thugs. Seems like them and So. Carolina constantly have guys showboating, woofing, acting like out of control brats. I thought Brohm might rein that type of behavior in but I guess not. Certainly contributed to their defeat on Friday and I could NOT be happier.
