Last Time Cards started 5-0

[Guardman]

This 5-0 start by Kentucky this season got me thinking. When's the last time Louisville did it? And how did it end?

2013 Strong 6-0 start (finished 12-1) (played 3 P5* teams altogether in season)(won Russel Athletic Bowl)
2012 Strong 9-0 start (finished 11-2) (played 6 P5 teams altogether in season)(won Sugar Bowl)
2006 Petrino 8-0 start (finished 12-1) (played 8 P5 teams altogether in season)(won Orange Bowl)
1993 Schnellenberger 5-0 start (finished 9-3) (played 7 P5 teams altogether in season)(won Liberty Bowl)
1972 Corso 6-0 start (finished 9-1) (played no P5 teams) (no bowl game)
1957 Camp 6-0 start (finished 9-1) (played no P5 teams) (won Sun Bowl)

Before 1957 I can't find any.

As one comparison , Kentucky will likely play 10 P5 teams this season.

*P5 teams are those who are P5 teams today.
