The Louisville Cardinals lost their last two games of the season. The Cardinals finish up 9-3 with some head-scratching losses after a season that saw much promise.

After posting a disappointing performance against Houston, the Cardinals lost to a Kentucky team they haven’t lost to since 2010. The Cardinals loss ruins any chance they had at getting a spot in the College Football Playoff.

Quarterback Lamar Jackson threw for 281 passing yards and two passing touchdowns and ran for 171 rushing yards with two touchdowns. But he also threw three interceptions. It was his first game of the season with multiple interceptions.

The Cardinals defense gave up the most total yards of offense all season to the Wildcats, surrendering 581 yards. The Wildcats’ 229 rushing yards is the most rushing yards allowed by the Cardinals defense as well.

Whats Next?

Its back to the drawing board for the Cardinals as they’ll probably take out their frustration on their bowl opponent. Current projections put the Cardinals in the TaxSlayer Bowl against Tennessee.
