Finding it difficult to get fired up for the Thursday night game against Rutgers? Doubt any Louisville player involved in last year’s 28-25 loss has the same problem.

Certainly not Brian Brohm; it had to be the most disappointing loss of his college career. Thirty minutes away from what could have been a perfect season, from moving up to at least the No. 2 spot in the country, from possibly playing in the national championship game. Has he thought about it?

“It’s painful to go back and watch the way things just kind of fell apart,” he said Monday. “A lot of it was the switch in momentum, tough team on the road, guys lost confidence. Things just kind of steamrolled and we couldn’t get things back together. We remember all that; we just want to get back at them.”

Despite what has happened this season, this video will either break your heart or steel it for the upcoming game:
