I keep thinking Notre Dame is a good football team but they looked to be mediocre at best. Last night Louisville beat them and last week they got beat by Northwestern and have given up 30 or more points in their last 6 games.
It's going to be interesting to see just how good Louisville is next weekend but the way we have been playing we can't count on much. We started the season out so great but sure haven't continued playing that well but hopefully we can turn it around and play a great game against the Cards.

Notre Dame also lost to Northwestern at home. Northwestern is 5-6.
Louisville is not a juggernaut. If Kentucky comes to play, they can win. Kentucky needs the win more than the Cards do.
The early Vegas line is that UK is a 14 point dog.
With the string of recent beat downs, I expected it to be larger than that.
Can the Cats rejuvenate with a week off? Go Cats!

It's hard to believe a college football player who has played football most of his life and knowing what's on the line isn't going to play to the best of his abilities. That doesn't make sense.

It happens all the time in every sport. Some players and teams have off performances and games. How many times has a veteran O lineman known the snap count and moved before the snap ( for any team, not just UK). We see favored teams get upset, because they miss tackles and have interceptions or fumbles. A team can have veteran D lineman, but they will have games, where they let the offense control the corner and rip off huge yardage down the sidelines.
Was Kansas really as bad as the game they played against Kentucky this season, in basketball? No. They had an off night.
I don't think any player or team goes into a game thinking they are only going to go through the motions.
I would argue that Kentucky didn't show up for Tenn. football game.

boom, of course players have bad games, all players do but when it's due to not giving a 100% it makes it a lot worse.
