Both are true. However, the Cards improvement has not been enough.
The ACC teams now have plenty of tape to watch to find and expose the Cards flaws. This is not the old BE or even CUSA teams we are competing against now.
These ACC teams all have good talent and coaching too. Our players and staff must avoid the trap of thinking all they have to do is show up and we will win, especially at home. Those days have passed.
Giving up long drives to the opposition on the first possession is not a good trend to have. I think CU's Dabo exploited that in this game. Hence winning the toss and electing to receive first. I could be wrong but with the defensive team(s) that CU have had, I would have thought they would have deferred and started on defense not offense.
But what the hell do I know? This was a sad, bad loss that really stings the fan base and team.
Not expected and certainly not welcomed.
Gotta regroup and go kick some Mustang butt in prep for the kitties. Can they do it?

We're definitely not getting better this year.. And if you look at the conference overall its not getting better either. ACC flagship programs FSU, Clemson, Miami, and even VaTech or down from their historical norms..
U of L is getting worse because of injuries and lack of quality depth. It’s the same with most of the ACC. Hope Isaac Briwn recovers and gets back in the lineup. The other two are pretty beat up.
