Louisville is not hunting respect anymore. Now it has to survive having it.

The Cards jumped seven spots to No. 16. Wake Forest gets to come into L&N Stadium with nothing to lose.

Louisville winning should not make 400-plus yards allowed disappear.

The Cards made huge plays when they needed them against SMU. That matters. So does allowing the game to reach the point where those takeaways were needed.

Is the defense good enough for a real playoff push?

Louisville should stop treating Keyjuan Brown like the backup.

Isaac Brown is special. So is a guy who just ripped a ranked SMU defense for 163 yards and two long touchdowns.

The roster-building phase is over. Now somebody has to win jobs.

Murray State should not recruit internationally just to make the roster look diverse.

Different developmental backgrounds should create different passing, spacing and decision-making habits.

Can the Racers actually use those differences instead of forcing everyone into one style?

Lincoln Kienholz is right. Louisville fans should be filling more seats.

More than 50,000 showed up for SMU, but L&N still had room. Louisville is No. 16 with one of the country’s most explosive offenses.

If this team does not fill the stadium, what will?
