Notes From Coach Kragthorpe's Press Conference

Monday University of Louisville football coach Steve Kragthorpe met with the media to discuss the Cards 41-7 beat down at the hands of Pitt and the upcoming game against Cincinnati. Here are a few of the key points he talked about.

1. Hunter Cantwell will remain the starter at quarterback. Despite Matt Simms getting in a few series against Pittsburgh, Kragthorpe thinks Cantwell still gives the Cards the best shot at winning.

2. While the goal of winning the Big East has evaporated Kragthorpe still thinks there's a lot to play for. He wants to go to a bowl game and win these last three games.

3. He believes the players have not given up on the season. He says he still saw the fight in his player's eyes on the sidelines of Saturday's game.

4. He thinks Cantwell, just like all other quarterbacks, is getting too much of the blame when things go bad. He says quarterbacks usually get too much credit when things are going good and too much blame when things are bad. He believes Hunter is playing hard every time he takes the field, and he's confident he'll finish the season strong.

Let me know what you think.
