Earl Heyman kept popping the tape in, reliving the nightmare.

Seven, eight, nine times the Louisville defensive tackle reviewed the carnage of the ninth-ranked Cardinals' ugly 58-42 win over Middle Tennessee last week, looking for something positive to build on.

Bright spots, however, are hard to come by when you allow 555 yards and six touchdowns to a team that had managed just 217 yards and 13 points the week before. Bleary-eyed, Heyman saw nothing but missed tackles, missed assignments and missed opportunities.

"Obviously, we had some problems and things that need to be adjusted," Heyman said. "The good thing is that it's over."

Maybe. But if the Cardinals (2-0) don't get better fast, their nightmare could just be beginning.

Louisville travels to arch rival Kentucky (2-0) on Saturday in a game that could produce enough points to make Rick Pitino and Kentucky counterpart Billy Gillispie envious.
