I don't see it. IMO, they will lose to USF and Cincy definitely and could lose at Pitt or WVU very easily. Last week against KSU was more about KSU playing terribly than LOU playing great. If you look at KSU's numbers in the last 3 seasons and the start of this season they are 3-13 on the road and 16-7 at home. For some reason they just cannot execute on the road. Also, look at the list of players that have left the LOU program since Spring of 2007:
Michael Adams, DE: concussions
Anthony Allen, RB: transferred
Lamar Alston, CB: dismissed
Jeremy Baker, OL: transferred
Marcel Benson, OL: heart condition
Rod Council, CB: dismissed
Mike Donoghue, OL: spinal condition
Marcus Gordon, OL: left team
Aundre Henderson, DL: quit team
Jonathan Holston, DE: dismissed
Dale Martin, RB: transferred
James McKinney, DL: academics (transfer, never played)
C.J. Millenbaugh, OL: left team (transfer, never played)
Lamar Myles, LB: left early for NFL
George Stripling, RB: dismissed
Mario Urrutia, WR: left early for NFL
Peanut Whitehead, DE: spinal condition
Willie Williams, LB: dismissed
Tyler Wimsatt, LB: dismissed
Josh Miller, WR: left team
Craig James, CB: left team
This is a lot of turn over and the team is very young, and frankly doesn't have the athletes in once did. I think they are still in for a long season this year personally.
