Afterwards, Louisville head coach Scott Satterfield said his team just gave up too many big plays. “Well, you’ve got to play better. You can’t give up 34 points, and we’ve got to score more than that. You know, we’ve just got to play better. It’s the bottomline. Can’t give up the big play. The big play has been hindering us all year defensively,” said Satterfield.
