Bill you are cherry picking a bit piece of his post and you completely ignored the meat the post. I agree TOs are part of the game and UK was much better in that area all year last year than UofL. Fair point.
But not a single UK fan this summer, including you, has acknowledged the meat of the post that's been posted over and over and over by different Louisville posters.
UK had a week off prior to the game and Louisville was coming off one of the more emotional wins in school history. These types of scenarios "play out" across the country every weekend, helping to explain upsets. It was an incredibly large advantageous set up for UK, especially when factoring in an opportunity to reach a bowl or face the season ending. This isn't going to be the set-up every year.
It's TBD if something similar is lined up this year. I can't predict records I got no crystal ball. It is fair to say Charlotte is a week to heal for UK, but it's still a game to be played which is different than last year. Despite all the excitement UK fans represent today, it is very possible nothing is on the line but pride for UK for this year's game. A total of 8 home games should lead to a bowl bid, but if they aren't bowl eligible and aren't playing for a bowl this year when the UofL/UK game kicks, advantage Cards.
In contrast, Louisville faces a lesser profile opponent the week leading up to UK also. It's hard to say if/how that game is going to impact UofL's psyche.
We'll see. The 4 game streak could come to an end. The 3 game streak didn't, despite the aforementioned advantageous set-up for UK heading into the 2014 game.
