Musings:
* That was a yeoman's effort I did not expect from this team. They laid it on the line against a vintage squad of tough guys from Louisville. It wasn't exactly the same as 2009 when Pitino thought it was a great idea to bully us and both Cousins and Bledsoe almost murdered someone in the first minute but it was similar.
Richards, Sestina, Hagans, and IQ manned up. Encouraging.
* In-game redass aside, this team is shockingly not good. I'm not even sure what Cal can do about it at this point. Half his players are unplayable. He's only got 5.5 decent players. We can run Hagans, Maxey, IQ, Sestina, Richards with Brooks off the bench but that really is it. None of those guys is a superstar, either.
Maybe I'm being overly pessimistic but woof. This team is just not good at all.
* It was nice to EJ Montgomery actually get some stuff done in crunch time. He played a lot better down the stretch than he did at the beginning.
* I'm hoping that Lynn Bowden goes full Vick against VA Tech and never even attempts a pass. It would start the decade right to see Kentucky football mount a juggernaut running offense and great defense in a bowl game.
