The Louisville Cardinals suffered a devastating 29-26 overtime loss to California, falling as 20-point favorites in a game that derails their ACC Championship and College Football Playoff aspirations. This crushing defeat continues a troubling pattern of unacceptable losses under Jeff Brohm, following similar upsets to Pittsburgh in 2023 and Stanford in 2024.

Host Dalton Pence delivers an unflinching breakdown of what went wrong at Cardinal Stadium. The defense, typically Louisville's saving grace this season, had no answers for Cal quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele and receiver Jacob De Jesus. Meanwhile, quarterback Miller Moss struggled with accuracy and decision-making, completing just 20 of 38 passes with a critical interception. Pence addresses the elephant in the room: is it time to consider backup quarterbacks Deuce Adams or Brady Allen?

With games against Clemson and SMU remaining, the Cardinals' once-promising 7-1 start now feels hollow. The offense squandered multiple fourth-quarter opportunities, and defensive coordinator Ron English couldn't adjust to Cal's schemes.
