Misery Index · Despair · ▲ from 73
A three-point loss in Raleigh, no pass rush, and the annual self-demolition right on schedule.
The emotional rollercoaster
Louisville fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Louisville went to Raleigh and lost 28-31, dropping to 2-3 and pushing the misery number from 70 to 82. The turning point was simple and familiar: a pass rush that never arrived, leaving the back seven on an island. As one fan put it, "If we don't get to the QB it's an automatic completion. It's never been more over." Another skipped the blame entirely — "No we broke ourselves like we do yearly." Five games in, October already feels like a formality rather than a month.
What fans said
“How many times can you get beat over the top in one season before you change up the defensive coverage”
